[Athen] RFBD question of a tech nature

[Burke, Dan (DSS)]

I agree - it is the most common mistake that the students we train to
download RFBD titles make - gee, it says download, so that must be it!

 

But it's not.  The RFBD Media Files folder contains your unzipped books
listed by the product number.  Inside the single title folder it will
have an additionl folder or folders named CD01 and CD02, etc., so it
will be asy to burn the CDs separately - they're already intact in their
individual folders.

Susan,

 

I think you may be looking in the wrong folder.  The files you want to
burn to CD are in the RFB&D Media folder, not the RFB&D Download folder.
See if that fixes it for you.

We have started downloading DAISY books from RFBD this semester.  The
instructions seem pretty clear and I have the downloader installed and
have downloaded a couple of books so far.  

 

However.  I cannot seem to figure out how to put 1.6 gb worth of files
onto a 700 mb CD.  In fact, I know this to be impossible, yet the
instructions clearly say I can burn these to CD.  I also noticed all of
them are .zip files.  I anticipate students not really being able to use
these files as intended on their DAISY players considering how they are
being presented to me.

 

What the heck am I missing here?  I have sent a request for technical
assistance to RFBD and got an "out of office" return message.  I need to
get this resolved soon.  Anyone have some tips/procedures for me to use?
