#1 Burning Software

I just have a short question.

Is it possible to burn multiple images via the ActiveX at the same time or can issues appear due to device notifications when 1 image is burned and another drive (burner) gets ejected for example?
Is there anything that must be considered in such scenarios?

Thanks in advance.

You can do it no problem. Just create a dedicated object for burner and matching image reader for every burner. And make sure you have enough of RAM to cache the writes and hard disk is able to feed the data at required burn speed

Well, i tried it.
I get a CStarburn_ScsiTransport::ExecuteCDB-> Status 31 (0x1f) on the second thread after some time.

Unfortunately this tells absolutely nothing. Grab full StarBurn log, zip and send to support@rocketdivision.com. Then we'll be able to tell what's wrong.

I have sent the logfile to the support email.
Thx

DeviceIoControl(...) Win32 API call fails with "invalid parameter". Can you switch to SPTD (CreateExEx) to sort out broken filter drivers issues.

No problem.
How do I do that? I havent found something about it in the help file / samples actually.
Any advice?

Check CreateExEx(...) API call. Please check the samples (say FindDeviceExEx should be fine).

Ah, ok.
That is implemented in "StarBurn Core" i guess.
Is there a way to do this via the "StarBurnx" interface?

Beside that a single burn is fine and gets completed without any problems via the ActiveX.

Thanks in advance.

Well.. I tried something else.
In the past I tried to burn the same image via 2 threads. Now I tried 2 different images and the burning process isnt interrupted.
I get an error but that is when the 1st burner object is destroyed. Actually the burner object gets destroyed and I eject the burned media from the
drive. It seems that at this point the 2nd burn thread gets the problems.

I have done a new logfile and sent it to the support.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the mass of emails but its the eject on the burner.
I did a workaround and now wait until all burns have been finished before I eject a driver and it works without any problems .
I probably should have mentioned before that I have some computer with SATA card and attached to that I have a small 3 burner tower.

Can that probably cause the trouble?
Can you give me any advice on this?

Thanks in advance.

That's exactly what I wrote you in my first post: each burner object should have matching image object...

OK, as it's StarBurnX rather then core issue I'm forwarding this to Dima

Ok, so Iam waiting for Dimas response on the issue now.
Thanks Anton!

Hello, Mark

1) In order to switch to the SPTD layer you should call the InitializeEx function of the StarBurnX object, the last parameter allows you to choose the SPTD layer.

2) I'm investigating this problem

Dmitry

Ok.
I used InitializeEx with SPTD entry and the system frooze some time after the 2nd thread was started.
Are there things that must be avoided to be called twice when using multiple burns?
For example Initialize(Ex) calls etc.?

I will forward the log to the support email.

Thanks in advance.
