The minds I?

[Rayna]

Well I brought The Minds I Deluxe edition today esp. because i saw it had video clips on it.... The only thing is i cant get to them, there is no flash programme in the CD, they don’t appear in Itunes or Media player. Are they actually missing? Cause i can’t find them, there not even there when i open the CD or hidden as hidden files.

~runs Away crying~

HEEELLLPPPPPPPPPP

 

[Dark_Silence]

I'm not sure where it is that you brought that poor CD, but have you tried putting it in a common DVD player? It's still weird that no files show up, but not unheard of.

 

[Rayna]

I have 2 DVD player ones on my computer and I have tried that, but the media is obviously on "compact disc" because on the little details on the cd it says that... not the little DVD icon... I am going to be very pissed ifits not working because that means i have to go all the way back to that particular cd store and return it... When it’s a real bitch to get to because there is no parking around that area and the only parking they do have is like $15 for like 2 hours.

When you open the contents of it, all it shows you is the albums songs, all 15 of them in “audio cd track” at 44bytes a file.

There is nothing in the booklet as well and they did give me the right CD because the 3 bonus tracks are on it... Just not the 2 video clips.... :/

No extras on Digipacks show up on my computer... I check the file and only iTunes files lie within. It's quite annoying really.

on my version I can actually see files and copy them to my hard-disk...

 

[plintus]

Rayna, do you use Windows or Mac or whatever (shouldn't make too much difference though)?

The way windows recognizes mixed content CDs (audio tracks + data) is - video files show up when you explore CD drive. If you see audio tracks only - there's no any other data then (well, that's from my experience using Windows Commander and WinExplorer; and what Nt2n said).

 

[Taliesin]

True, even if you cant play the file with your computer, or cant copy it, there should at least be something. Maybe they're hidden and you havent set your settings to show hidden files?

They don't usually hide them on multimedia CDs.

 

[Taliesin]

no, but it's possible

 

[Dark_Silence]

with my copy, i just have to left-click on the cd driver icon, and then select "open" or "browse" (i dont remeber how its translated on english computers).

Then the 2 videos appears. There are also 2 folders, "CDPLUS" and "FILES" and the file "autorun.inf" along with the videos.
the first one is named DThedon.mpg and the second one DTzodijackil.mpg

Maybe you can try to search after the name of those files (Start menu, search).

 

[Rayna]

Nope none of the following work, All i get ionn my computer is CD files and they are 44 btyes each....

Hmmmm

Rayna: Your computer is retarded. 44 bytes isn't enough for even one second of lowest-quality audio.

 

[Taliesin]

44 bytes is what my computer says about audio tracks, too though.

You oughta know, that what we are talking about here is, actually, CD TRAXXXXXXXX on an audio CD.

But you could fit in your fart in 44 KB... even 22 would be enough, I think.

True but that is what my computer says, I think i am going to take it back it isnt good enougth that its not working on my computer which is the intention it is to be for.

 

[Magrathean]

Taliesin+Rayna+plintus: Audio tracks are ~40 (i.e. 44 is a normal number) Mb (at least when you copy them to your computer or import them as cd audio and not mp3, and it makes sense, since 40x15=600 and 40x20=800 and 15-20 is the number of normal (3-5–minute–long) songs that can fit into a 700-Mb cd). 44 bytes is what a program of some two or three lines (i.e. "Hello World") would take up, not what a full audio track would.

 

[Taliesin]

I know it's hard to believe, but not everyone on the internet is a complete computer idiot.
So here you go Mr. Undo:

Possible solution. Is the re-release by Osmose?
