Sent to Markinthedark on 8/18/08

7 cd's and 1 dvd, documentation page & cd cover art for 5/28/77 (couldn't find any for the others). Note - filler added to 10/11/80, because it was a short cd, but it's documented, Hope you like it.

Vine consists of 4/18/82 Baltimore
5/28/77 Hartford

Bonus material: 5/05/79 Baltimore (on DVD only)
5/04/80 Baltimore (on DVD only)
And 10/11/80 San Francisco (CD only)

Pay attention here - the bonus 10/11/80 didn't fit on the dvd, so it's only in audio CD form - if you only copy the dvd, you'll miss it. On the other hand, those who don't DVD will get a little bonus with this one.

The Raven Has Landed

The Baltimore/Hartford "Quoth the Raven" vine arrived today. My first vine experience, I'm so excited. I'll try to get it out in the next couple of days, no later than Monday.

Cheers,

Baltimore, we have a problem

Hi, I've got these done but when copying the bonus material off the DVD you get "cannot copy gd80-05004d2t03: data error (cyclic redundancy check)". I haven't tried decoding anything yet, just wanted to burn and turn! I'll get these out to TNHG on Tues.

Thanks for the vine, erickat!

CRC Error

Sorry to hear that - it's Samson & Delilah. Did you get the rest of it - just not that one song? it's possible that somehow the dvd (or at least that file on the dvd) is corrupt. The info below may help others - if not, maybe I could email that one file - or ftp it, if you have that capability.

The most common time you will see the cyclic redundancy check error message is when trying to read data from a damaged CD or DVD. Just before it appears, your CD/DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away - your PC may also become a little slugglish.

Less frequent causes are the result of system crashes, and buggy software (hello Microsoft), incomplete downloads (often identified by the misleading message 'This is not a valid Windows file', 'This is not a valid win32 application' or 'Corrupt Zip file'). If this problem happens frequently with downloads, try using a download manager.

For CDs and DVDs, the problem is a little different. Normally, when CD/DVD drives get a CRC message from a disc, they try to read the disc again - hence the grinding sound. After several failed attempts, they give up and display the redundancy check error. The problem can be hardware (loose cables, failing drive), software or damaged media. In most cases checking and cleaning the disc is the easiest way to overcome the problem. If different clean discs produce the same error, it is likely to be a hardware issue (check the discs in another drive). Another common cause of these errors is poorly burnt CDs and DVDs - especially those that had numerous or severe buffer underuns. USB burners suffer from this problem when the burn speed is too high (generally above 4X-8X)

If the discs are damaged, you'll probably need a recovery tool to get back your data. CDCheck 3 will work for CDs and DVDs. First it will check the media, and then you have the option to recover the files. It's free for personal use and has saved many people heartache when it comes to recovering lost digital images and videos from damaged CDs.

I have it

Will get it sent to bear as soon as I can. I'll post a comment when I send it out.

Peace,
