1 Instructions
1.1 Introduction
These instructions are intended to help you quickly create your on audio
project and burn it on a CD. Feurio! has been specially developed for the
professional creation of audio CDs.
Feurio! satisfies both the layman's and expert's r equirements. Feurio's def ault
settings allow inexperienced users t o 'burn' their own CDs quickly and easily.
The variety of options available give the practised user complet e control over
every parameter while burning audio CDs.
To describe all the components of the program here would far exceed the
scope of these instructions. Therefore, only those functions and parameters
that are needed as standard featur es are explained in this document. You can
find more detailed information on Feurio! in the context-sensitive online help
function. You can call this up at any time by pressing t he F1 k ey. You will then
be given a help-text relating to the window currently visible on the screen.
You ca n also obtai n up-t o-da te inf orm atio n on Feur io! on the www.f euri o.com
Web site.
1.2 Layout of this manual
Section 1 provides a brief description of the 'philosophy' of this manual.
Section 2 explains how to install Feurio! - and uninstall it again if necessary.
Section 3 shows you how to create your own CD - from launching t he program
up through to producing a CD cover. This section is aim ed above all at users
who want to start using the program straightaway without having to do too
much reading first.
In section 4 and later, the individual components of the program and their
specific elements and functions are explained in more detail. In these sections,
the keen user will learn how to customize Feurio! so he or she can produce
exactly those CDs that are required.

3 Burning a CD
3.1 Introduction
Your can make your own, individual CDs easily with Feurio!
This section is aimed at users who want to burn their own CDs without first
having to spend much time learning all about the program. It will show you
how to compile your own CD and introduce you to the different Feurio!
elements. The individual components and their specific elements and
functions are described in section 4 and later.
When you com pile your own CD, first a proj ect is set up, the audio track s are
then copied into the project and f inally the CD is burned.
The audio tracks to be burned may have diff erent form ats (CDA, wav or MP3
files) and originate f rom different sources (CDs, a hard disk, or a database).
Compressed MP3 files can be decompressed when they are copied into the
project (this calls for suf ficient hard disk memory but it does permit bur ning at
very high speed) or only at the moment they are burned onto the CD (in this
case no additional hard disk memory is required, but the burning process can
only be performed at a slower speed because the computer has to work to
decompress the files).

files when burning a CD.

10 Important terms
10.1 Copying "on-the-fly"
Advantages:
! 'On-the-fly' copying is quick er as ' Imag e copying' because you can start the
burning process without having to wait for the end of the reading procedure.
! No hard disk memory is needed for the copy.
Disadvantages:
! If the CD is scratched or if errors occur during reading, the reading speed
will drop and with it the transfer rate, so t hat a buffer under-run m ay occur.
You should only use the 'On-the-fly' copy featur e if (f or example) you have no
hard drive memory available for an image. Not e: making a copy via an image
file is always much safer.
10.2 Image copying
In the case of an image copy (unlike an 'on-the-fly' copy) the CD is first
completely read and then an imag e of the CD is cr eated on t he hard disk . T he
burning process is only started after t he im age has been completed.
Advantages:
! You will not have a 'burned' blank CD if any problems occur when reading
and/or if the reading speed of the drive is temporarily reduced.
! There are no 'conf licts' between the CD-ROM drive and CD writer drive. (In
particular with IDE CD writers / CD-ROM drives.)
! Many CD-ROMs only supply correct data while reading continuously; this is
the case with an image copy.
! The image can be used for addit ional writing if it is not deleted, i.e. further
copies can be burned without the source CD having to be present.
Disadvantages:
! The burning process takes long er because an imag e f irst has to be created
and then burned.
! With a 70 minut e CD, around 650 MB of hard disk memory is needed for
filing the image.

10.3 Buffer under-run
A continuous stream of data is required when you write on a CD. In other
words, the data flow must not be interrupted. For example, data is written at a
rate of 352 kB / per second at a 2x writing speed.
Because the computer does not supply a constant flow of data (the data is
transferred in blocks), a CD recorder has a buffer (intermediate memory) in
which the data transmitted by the computer is temporarily stored and then sent
to the writing laser at the correct rate.
If the computer does not succeed in k eeping the buffer f ull during the writing
process (i.e. the buff er becomes com pletely empty), the writing laser does not
have any more data and the burning procedure has to be broken of f. This is
known as 'buffer under-r un' .
It is normally impossible to write any more on a CD following a buffer underrun - the compact disk is def ective. (However, as a rule, it will be possible to
play those parts of the CD that have already been written on).
