Burn To The Brim Help
 
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are groups?
A: Files/folders which BTTB keeps together to be burned on 1 CD. This way you don't lose any parts of multi-part files, for example, and can keep an artists' files together.

Q: How does folder splitting work?
A: Please read the section on folder splitting.

Q: BTTB doesn't use all files!
A: If you have set a small slack size, chances are the files left won't fill the CD as well as you have requested (say 1 MB slackspace while due to bad fitting file sizes perhaps 5 MB may be needed). Set the slack size to the medium size if you want to prevent this.

Q: Why would I let BTTB search longer after a perfect solution has been found?
A: BTTB tries to minimize the number of files/folders needed to fill the CD. As there will be more 'pieces of the puzzle' left, it's more likely the next CDs can also be filled.

Q: Shouldn't the program be called Burn to the Rim?
A: Although its current main focus is CDs (as you can tell by the language in the program and helpfile), BTTB can be used for any media, not just flat CDs.

Q: Why doesn't BTTB split my large files so they fit on one CD ?
A: BTTB isn't meant for CD's alone, so splitting to size a file for 1 CD would be illogical. Please split a file beforehand using the well-known split-utilities, or file split for Windows, so it can fit the medium-size you choose.

Q: I am missing wnaspi32.dll ?
A: You'll need ASPI drivers installed, or BTTB 2.6.1 won't start! If needed, you can find them here.

Q: Burn to the Brim is only filling one CD ?
A: Please change the "search time" to a number that is normal. 0 stands for "search until you drop", you probably don't want that. 20 seconds should be sufficient.

Q: Burn to the Brim takes ages to find a solution !
A: Please change the "search time" to a number that is normal. 0 stands for "search until you drop", you probably don't want that. 20 seconds should be sufficient.
