Does anyone know if you need any speacial software to burn cdg's - these are the karaoke type discs with on screen words aswell as the mp3.

Hi mate i tried to use alcohol 120 but that didnt work either.... i think i need a copy of power cd+g burner. Unless you have another solution

you may need to check that your dvd writer is able to write this format.

Sure Nero will do it, but might be worth checking.

Yeah mate ive got nero and alcohol 120%, but none of em worked for me, unless im doing summat wrong. Firstlt i used mp3toolz to convert cdg to bin and cue then burned with bouth programs. The sound comes through fine its just the lyrics on screen, which dont come on.... any clues

Did you check whether your DVD Writer can write these files/disks ?

there is a method to convert these disks to burn with other software, i can look into it if you need help eetc..

also check whether the dvd/cd player you are using can actually play yhese files (if it can't then all you will hear is the music - no lryics etc).

If your still stuck let me know what writer you have and also what you intend to play these disks on.

If you want I can copy you some DVD's (should play on all DVD Players as they are actual dvd files not CDG). They're quite good (not really into Karaoke etc - its a surprise for the kids for Xmas along with a set of microphones)

4 for a tenner if thats any good to you (+ £2.50 P&P)

Hi mate i sussed it, i used that method above which was correct..... it was the actual player i was using on the pc which wasnt configured right.
Im not into my karaoke either mate... it for the kids!!!
