Bombing bug with 3rd party CD burners, plus mini-review - Version: 1.0RC1, 8/7/2008 10:22PM PST

zunipusThe workaround is to eject any disc you have mounted via the 3rd party drive, then disconnect the drive. At that point you can successfully boot FS FX. Then reconnect the 3rd party drive. Mount your disc again. All works fine.
Note that setting the Preferences/General preference "Force FireStarter FX to use my unrecognized burner" does NOT help with this bug. Not having a disc mounted via the 3rd party drive does NOT help with this bug. Trashing the preferences file for FS FX does NOT help with this bug.
Mini-Review:
I don't consider it fair to give star rated reviews for beta software, which this still is. So here are some aspects of the program I found annoying.
In general I find it to be a bit touchy, requiring some more work until it is stable or actually usable by newbies. The fact that absolutely no Help is provided makes this app Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time. There isn't even any Hot Help. For example, good luck figuring out what 'Paranoia-mode' is about. Have fun playing with 'Read-raw', whatever that's supposed to be. I also have to wonder why there is a RAM setting in the Preferences, and yet another RAM setting for Image burning. Huh?!
This is clearly a fun project with promise. But for now, if I want to use a freebie CD burning app I'll stick with Apple's provided options or use the freeware app Burn, which is stable and has more abilities than FS FX. For example, Burn lets you burn data discs directly from one drive to another. That's no go in FS FX.
I'm going to continue watching the project, but I'm not keeping 1.0RC on my hard drive.
