mss627 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I purchased a MZ-RH1 a couple of months ago. Recently I started recording events and transfering them to my PC for editing. I've been reusing the same disc about 5 or 6 times. Lately I've started getting access error messages exactly 44% into the transfers. What's really strange is when I play back the file looking for the error the file plays thru without problems. It's only during the upload that the error occurs. Is this a software bug or am I over using the disc?Initializing the disc has worked in the past but I would really hate to lose this file. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Is this a software bug or am I over using the disc?Initializing the disc has worked in the past but I would really hate to lose this file. Any information would be greatly appreciated!I have this problem regularly. And on HiMD discs that are new or old [none are more than 1 year old or have been used more than 100 times]. Sometimes it is probably recording screeches on the disc or sometimes it seems to be on discs that were recorded in a crowd and the recorder was jostled while recording. But whatever reason might be I have always found that the solution is to make a mark somewhere on the recording. Simple as that. I tape live shows and i might have a 40 min recording that craps out in the transfer at some point [not usually the same spot] but if i take the minidisk off the usb cable, play the disc for a few minutes and then simply press the Mark button the reconnect to the usb cable it will transfer OK. As I process all my recordings on Audition after conversion to wavs it doesn't matter to me where I Mark as I can rejoin easily. If you use SS only it may make sense to Mark at track boundaries. Try the end of the forst track and see if that works. I have on one occasion split a recording up into 4 pieces but in the end i got it all. I haven't lost a recording yet.In facxt as I write this the recording i made last night is downloading after I split it into two pieces because the single file wouldnt download. in this case it failed almost immediately and i suspect it was a transient screech in the first minute of the recording. Don't know why it works [presumably its a glitch in the file table rather than the actual tracks given that all you are doing is re-writing the track info, not any part of the data itself]Hope this helps. btw I have a MZ-NH600. not too high tech but it works for me [and its cheap enough if i break it i can get another one at least till stocks run out Edited June 15, 2007 by the_artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
