Hi, thank you very much. You are one of the most helpfull people I've ever delt with. I really appreciate that. Defnitly werth playing furder and think about it. Just one last thing then, how does the ptr2 handle these files, because unlike the newer players it does not have a build book option as far as I noes. Yes when doing a cd you can finalize it, and then probibly the necessary ajustments will be made, but if you only record and edit a title on cf card and you want to use it on other players how would you then go about it? Or will the ptr2 make the ajustments if you choose to remove unnecessary audio from the media management menu?

Hi, thank you very much, this make sense and now I learn something new. I appreciate that. But now, the other thing that I wunder, is that when I am done with my project, and lets say I won't use it on cd, why does the project ncc.imd file along with a few others remain there. I mean shouldn't they make a way to get rid of those because if I want to use it on another player by only copying it to the player, then it take up more space and those files are not needed anymore because the books are already builded. They said in the manual if you export the project audio to a new project, it will also remove unnecessary audio or other files perhaps also, but I found after I run it, that I stil see those project files and also "medda data.ini" so it seems those files only get removed when burnig the distrubution copy on cd. It wil stay on the master copy if you select to burn it that way. Hope I make sense.

Burning cd's with prs
by Aidan Maher 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi all, I have burned a project with prs, and I chose to burn it as a distrubution copy. So now, why is it that the project only contain an "ncc.html" file after building the book, but when burning the cd, both the "ncc.html" and also the "disinfo.html" file also are created. I thought its only one of the too wich get used at a time, or are the disinfo file only for cd's? Thank you for any help on this.
