What burning software did you use with your CD-RW3200EZ?
What settings did you use? I would like to do this too?
I am a novice user and do not know much about such CD burning procedures. Any help/suggestions would be helpful,
Also, do you know if the new Yamaha model will work with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 platinum? I cannot seem to find a driver for this CD-RW.

We can't all be geniuses, :-)

It can copy at max speed but I was going for a Quality copy.
I use Clone for all my music back up and software backup as it does a 1.1 copy.I use Nero 5.5.7.2(http://www.ahead.de/) for data backup and other copying. I find these two Programs my personal Favourites.I am not sure if Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 platinum works with Yamaha 3200E VK. It should Say on their web site if it is Supported.There could be an Update on there web site too, I am not sure.The best way to learn is to Practice on Rewritable bearing in mind that they are slower. And reading lots on forums like this one and others and asking a Lot of Questions.

Onoborisan, Yamaha CRW3200 support is included in the 5.02d patch, limited as it is, no audio master support or optimum write control that I can see.

Megod, what about disc 2 of Medal Of Honor Allied Assault? I've backed up Serious Sam 2 using a CRW3200S (1.0b) but it seems to be a partial, reads fine in my Plextor 40TSi (1.05), has a problem with my Pioneer 303S (1.10).

CN,
Disk two seems to be fine. Firstly I backed Up both Disks to ReWritable. Then When I Was Satisfied that both were working Correctly I burned a Normal Disk CD-R. Also the Backup copies are Identical to the Original including the Size.Safe Disc have some Serious Problems? I would not Recommend them for Copy Protection on any Software, and I feel sorry for any Company that has paid them. If I did I would ask them for a Refund..LOL
Long live Yamaha
