CD Burn Speed list empty? [BUG# 5883]

[Blizz]

Since a couple of versions, I can no longer burn CDs with MM. As soon as I insert an empty CD the dropdown with the possible write speeds becomes empty.
According to the info pane next to it the Max Speed = 0 but it does report an empty CD-R inserted and so on.
I assume the recorder just tells MM that it cannot determine the speed but why empty the dropdown?
FYI: Nero and some other software on my PC can burn on the "not supported" disc (brand) without any issues.

Ow and If I try to press the Burn! button the window just gets closed.

Have you tried to initiate burn at slower speed and then insert blank CD?

Have you tried to locate Firmware update to see if newer firmware have added support for that CD brand?

[Blizz]

Your suggestion works so it's a temporary solution. Speed then only goes up to 20x (I normally burn at 32x or 48x), but lower is better no?

As for a firmware, my recorders have the latest version I think (checked it when I bought them and updated it). Nero and Adobe Encore can both burn with the same writer on the same discs MM cannot.



edit: Modified reply as I initially interpreted your answer wrongly, sorry

if you stick the cdrom in first then start monkey does he see the speeds then?
and does he show all of them then? most cdrom disc's will have a speed printed on them
for the cdrw drive to see and will only burn to that speed no matter what the burner can do.

is it possible that the software / firmware for the drive is only showing what the disc can handle?

send the disk info to rusty or jiri and let them add it to the list of disk brands to support.

Hmmm, Interesting. Can you use Debug Version of MediaMonkey 3.1 and Send c:\HPCDE.log to ls <@at@> mediamonkey \.DOT./ com so that we can analyze the results what speeds are detected when CD is not inserted and when CD is Inserted?

Blizz,
now I am reading your posts and I cannot find your email. It most probably catched my spam filter.
Could you re-send it or use a free upload service like RapidShare.com and post the link here?

Thanks.
