tekdroid Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 After reading about Hi-MD bugs years ago and finding this again, I am curious if there is a definitive Hi-MD Bug List sitting around the deep halls of MiniDisc.org, waiting to be read; a single thread where all the bugs of various generation units are listed and can be tested on our unit(s).

kino170878 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I doubt there is a list compiled on bugs, that kind of (highly valuable info IMO) is probably scattered all over the forum. That is a very interesting link you provided by the way, it backs up my theory that the Hi-MD format is not dependable for any sort of advanced editing operation. Most people upload to the PC and then do the editing from there so it's a non-issue for many users, but how on earth Sony could allow that bug is beyond me. That's part of the reason why I still record SP discs to this day. Another bug I doubt they fixed is the MZ-RH1 uploading of legacy discs where if you selected Hi-SP as the destination format it would change the track marks by a few seconds. PCM uploads are at least okay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 one bug I know of: the SonicStage 3.x/Onkyo bug. Titles made with SoS don't appear correctly on the Onkyo Hi-MD decks' displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekoe Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've experienced something sort of like the symptoms in the post you linked to... I have a new MZ-RH1. The audio I'm working with is voice recorded on the unit in Hi-MD PCM mode. Upon pretty extensive clip editing on the unit, I get the message 'CANNOT EDIT' at some points in the recording. I thought it could edit endlessly? I think the error message has something to do with having edited for too long without allowing the unit to SYSTEM FILE WRITE. I think it might be like a hard drive in that the information gets scattered all over the disc? I think I read something about this in the manual.

ekoe Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah, at one point it actually jumbled a track that was three groups away with the one I was editing. It was scary. Then I pressed 'stop' and it did the SYSTEMFILEWRITE and it seemed to be fine. However, I'm still not able to edit those tracks which had the 'CANNOT EDIT' message, although I can play them and upload them just fine.

Strungup Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Bug Or Not Bug ,......That isnt the question , but here is mine .I have an RH1 , and I have the DS-HMD1 Data drive First the Data drive IS NOT supposed to work on Mac it is supposed to work with Sonic Rage ....... umm Stage sorry .But , If I FORMAT an MD in the RH1 , and put it in the Data drive , The Mac thinks it is the RH1 and then I can Drag and drop , MP3 , or Upload recordings that are in HiMD mode , .............. I think this is more of a Critter than a Bug , but kinda cool if ya ask me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
