aaronk Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I've been using IMGBURN for a few years, and until recently, I've never had an issue with CD text. At some point over the past few months the CD text is being truncated by the " (quotation mark) character. Here's an example: CUE Sheet Entry: FILE "15 Herbie Hancock - Rockit (7'' Version) [1983].wav" WAVEREM FILE-DECODED-SIZE 03:54:70 TRACK 15 AUDIO PREGAP 00:02:00 TITLE "Rockit (7" Version) [1983]" PERFORMER "Herbie Hancock" INDEX 01 00:00:00 Please note that the file name itself has two ' (apostrophe) characters, since " is an invalid character for a filename; however, I replace the double ' with " in the CUE sheet. After the CD is burned, the CD text title info is displayed: Rockit (7 Everything starting with the " character is cut off. Here's what I've tried so far: 1. Rolled back to an earlier version of IMGBURN (2.5.7.0) 2. Rolled back to an even earlier version (2.5.5.0) 3. Uninstalled some other applications that had been recently installed 4. Completely reinstalled Windows 7 and the newest version of IMGBURN No luck. It's still truncating the track names with a " character. Is this an issue with IMGBURN, or is something else going on with my machine? I would've expected a fresh installation of Windows 7 to have fixed it.
aaronk Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 Hmm, after examining some older discs, perhaps I did not replace the ' characters and just left them as double apostrophes. I think I have already figured out why it's truncating the text. The program is viewing the " character as the end of the text string. So, "Rockit (7" is the text between the two quotation marks, and everything after that is irrelevant. Looks like I answered by own question, but if anyone knows if there truly is a way to display a " in CD text, I'd be curious to know.
