Re: why are cd-roms with redbook audio split into tracks

That can happen if the cd is scratched. Beyond that make sure your gap detection is set to 'secure' and try the all the gap detection methods (A,B,C) and see if one of the other ones gives better results. If that doesn't help it may be a drive issue.

Re: why are cd-roms with redbook audio split into tracks

<t>You could dump all the audio to a single file and specify tracks in the .cue file, but you'd still have the same gap issues. It would be easier to correct gap errors in a cue file instead of moving data around, but the convienience of multiple tracks outweigs this in my opinion. A correct gap ...

Re: Cataloguing game packaging versions?

<t>I think it would save some time. If the scanner color profile is correct, it should be possible to fix all images in one step as apposed to using level correction in gimp or photoshop on images individually. I'll order a calibration sheet and post sample before/after scans next week.<br/>

Re: Cataloguing game packaging versions?

<r>I couldn't find any mention in the quidelines of color calibrarion. You can get close by hand, but you have the color inacuracy of the scanner compounded by the color innacuracy of the monitor. Do they mention it somewhere else?<br/>
