Title: Minnetonka DiscWelder Bronze?
Post by: Craig T on January 16, 2004, 09:33:34 AM: http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM04/Content/Minnetonka/PR/discWelder-Bronze.html

$99, but does it support gapless tracks?

Post by: dmonterisi on January 16, 2004, 10:25:26 AM: doubt it. i bet it's just a reboxed discwelder stell v.1, before it supported gapless. i looked at the screenshot on that page and if it worked like discwelder steel, there would be a column that says "Info" or something and there would be a green "G" next to each track that has no gap before it. so i'd guess that this is not gapless.

Wes,
The new discWelder Bronze will be a very basic DVD-Authoring tool for $99. It will import any PCM audio allowed by the DVD-A spec, just like STEEL. It creates a "black disc" meaning no menu or pictures just plays similar to what a CD would in a DVD-A player, but won't contain our exclusive "gapless" feature found in our higher end STEEL or CHROME products.
Thanks,
Craig

Post by: Wes on January 28, 2004, 04:25:01 PM: I posed the same question as the guy on digi-panic and got the same response:

Wes,
That is true, as of yesterday. We will update STEEL with some new cool features to distinguish its price point. Stay tuned!
Thanks,
Craig

I recently heard that the specs for Discwelder Bronze had changed and that DWB will now support your gapless feature. Is this true?
