#1 Burning Software

I have some problems by using starburn SDK. firstly, burn bd iso to BD-RE failed, I think the reason may be I forgot formatting disc, so I add formatting operation, but StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_BluRayFormat function always failed when I format BD-RE disc by 0 as formatProfileNumber.

If I always erase disc using StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_Blank by ERASE_TYPE_BLANK_DISC_FULL, the burning will be successful. But it's sometimes failed by ERASE_TYPE_BLANK_DISC_FAST. The disc formatted by ImgBurn tool was burned failed too by ERASE_TYPE_BLANK_DISC_FAST.

I attached the log file.

please help !

Alexander (staff) will analyze logs and answer you tomorrow.

In first about erasing. Your log doesn't contain information about unsuccessful erasing All erasing operations was completed with status "success".
Also about BD formatting - not all profiles are applicable for disc, we always performs disc formatting during full erasing, but we enumerate all profiles and select a really applicable before call formatting routine. Using inapplicable profiles may cause formatting failure or decreasing read/write speeds.

thank you for your answer, how can I know which profile is really applicable for the BD-RE disc ? The formatting operation always be failed when I use the first profile, but the second one will be successful. so if one profile is successful, it is applicable ?
Sometimes, I don't know my disc whether formatted successful or not. Can one disc be formatted sevel times ? If formatted failed, can I format it again ?

I use FAST mode to erase my BD-RE disc, it's finish very soon, but the disc inforamtion is still there, such as volume label, used size info. Is it normal ?

- yes
- yes
Note: you don't need to call StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_BluRayFormat before first writing on disc, we check disk before writing and format it with applicable format if need.

- I'll perform tests and review code today and answer tomorrow.

Hello. Its me again. . After I burn BD-RE disc using your software and play it in my player， when I fastforward the video I just burned it will freeze. I have 3 blu ray plyers and its the same thing in each player. I also have another software and when I burn the same file in that program its fine. Is this common with your software? I checked the videos (videos before I burned them)and they play fine. My blu ray players are my computer, PS3 and a sony. I never had this problem with my other software. Is this unique to your software and do you have a fix for it? Thank you for your time.

Please try next sequence.

1. Perform full erasing
2. Write video files and test on your BD Players
( Note: don't call StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_BluRayFormat between steps 2 and 1)

when bug still here please do same with new ( never used ) BD-RE

Tell me about results.
Regards, Alex

alexander, it's fine burned by your advice. If I use full erasing mode, all is fine, but if I don't use it for new BD-RE, some disc is fine and some is not fine, especially for bigger than 25G bluray iso.
The full erasing must be needed for new BD-RE disc when first using ?

thanks to alieen, by your test, there may be a bug in our software, I will try to fix it.

hello, alieen, can you give me a complete burn demo with checking drive, checking disc, erasing and burning ? I don't know what issue is in our software, my burn codes come from the V15.3 starburn SDK demo, C language libcmt version, such as TrackAtOnceFromFile project, Blank project.

Please see our C++ (GUI) DataBurner sample

ok, thank you, I will compare the demo and my codes, and follow the demo to retry.

Do you have any updates with a newer build of StarWind SDK?
