Using Win XP Home SP2; Nero 6.6; SONY DVD RW DRU-710A; HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8400B
Over the past year or so, I've burned dozens of audio CDs from FLAC files using Nero Express. On a recent burn, one cut of a 19-cut Vivaldi concerto collection was truncated. To ensure that FLAC files are okay, I always play them from the hard drive before I burn them. This file played okay from the hard drive using Winamp 5.35
I used a Taiyo-Yuden CD-R at 32x and, to eliminate a problem unique to the original CD, I burned the files again on a fresh T-Y CD; same result.
The only other CD I had around the house was an Imation CD-RW which I burned at 4x; same result.
I burned another T-Y, but on my other CD-RW drive; same result.
I used dBpowerAMP to convert the FLAC files to WAV files to see if it would make a difference, but dBp stopped converting that file when it got to the point where the sound was truncated.
It appears that there's something wrong with the source file, but if so, why would it play from the hard drive?
I'd like to understand what problem exists so I can either bypass or eliminate it in future burns.
Is FLAC listed as one of the compatible file types for Nero? I don't see it listed in the open files dialogue. Possibly is some conversion process, the file was truncated.
