Samsung SH-224BB/BEBE compatible with CD+E(G)
I'd like to burn some of my own CD+G discs to use on a CD+G system. As many of you probably know most newer DVD/CDRWs don't support CD+G but this Samsung claims to support CD+E(G) which is the enhanced version. I can't find anywhere that says or implies that CD+E(G) is backwards compatible with CD+G so was just wondering if anyone here had used this drive or knows for sure that CD+E(G) is backwards compatible with CD+G. Thanks.
The fact is that MOST modern CD/DVD burners will burn CD+G discs with the proper software. CD+EG is not a format that has gone anywhere or that is likely to. Stick with CD+G.
Wiseguy is correct in his assertion that most CD/DVD burners will burn CD+G discs nowadays as the software generates an "image" that can be readily burned to the disc.
Prior to this, specialist burners had to be used that could write to the interleaved areas of the disc to insert the video track.
I've used Power Karaoke's Power CD+G burner for some years now and can heartily recommend it as a simple, user friendly piece of software at a very reasonable price.
However, I would also suggest quite strongly that if you can find a CD burner as opposed to a CD/DVD burner you should take that option.
Although probably not an issue these days, most karaoke disc players use a DVD drive as their source but DVD lasers produce a MUCH finer beam and I used to get misreading on occasions, as if the reading laser couldn't track my burned CD's accurately.
This was cured, at a stroke, by using a CD burner as it burns a much wider track than a DVD burner.
Unfortunately, you'll have difficulty finding a CD only burner these days.
Ebay is your friend, as there are still a few external CD burners out there.

I concur with the question.wiseguy wrote:What burning program were you using?tdalton wrote:I tried burning on a laptop and it wouldn't play. I then downloaded Nero Info Tool which showed that my drive was not CD+G compatible. I tried 2 other computers of mine and neither were they and they are all fairly new. I'm a bit miffed
As I said in my earlier post, CD+G burning software will first generate an image file, THEN burn the image to a CD.
If you try to burn to your CD directly, then you'll find all you get is audio and NO video.
My CD burner ALSO doesn't support CD+G according to Nero Infotool but quite happily produces CD+G discs using Power Karaoke CD+G Burner..
When you check your drive with Infotool, it is the "Modes" section you should check and ensure it supprts "Packet & Raw DAO16".
If it does, then it's very likely that proprietory software like Power CD+G Burner will work fine.
Power CD+G Burner does not create ISO archives. It creates separate BIN, MP3+G, or WAV+G files for each song track. When creating a disc with MP3+G files the program converts them to BIN files "on the fly" during the burn process.
If the program is not recognizing your burner try going into settings and changing burner settings to CDRDAO burning engine. Daemon Tools is not going to do anything for you.
