Problem writing into a Recordable CD

Hello Alexander,

1)This is the same code that i use and i face that problem where the CD drive does not eject at times.

2)If i use the DiscInfo.TotalSizeInLBs for a DVD that i have erased , i always get a Zero.

This is the code that i use:

Dim intTotalSpaceInBytes As Int64
Dim intTotalLB As UInt32 = objdiscinfo.TotalSizeInLBs
intTotalSpaceInBytes = System.Convert.ToInt64(intTotalLB)

Am i doing something wrong.

Regards,
Annie.

But from the log the disc is ejected sucessfully. We need either the log with the problem or the code that reproduces it.

TotalSizeInLBs is actually the size of the written data. I'll tell our developers to change the name because it's really confusing, sorry.

Hello Alexander,

Oh this TotalSizeInLBs really confused me.
So, is there any way by which i can get the capacity of a disc after it would be erased, even before i erase it?

Regards,
Annie.

Currently no, but we'll add it ASAP, really useful feature. I'll send you the update once it will be ready.

Hello Alexander,

I have sent you a mail with details of free and total space that i have observed with a CD and a DVD.
Hope you got the mail.

Yes we did. We'll change the names in the next release. Thank you for pointing!

Hello Anton,

I had sent a mail to Alexander earlier which had the following Observations :

I wrote around 120MB of data into a CD and the results were:
TotalSizeInLBs 737277952 (703 MB)
FreeLBs 584605696 557 MB

If TotalSizeInLBs is equal to the total size of Written data, then the observations for the CD fails.

I wrote about 3MB of Data into a DVD
TotalSizeInLBs 0
FreeLBs 4685940736 4.3 GB 4686301184

i felt that the TotalSize shown is 0 for a DVD , because the data added was very small in size. So i added a 1.3 GB of data into the DVD and the results were as follows:
TotalSizeInLBs 0
TotalSizeInLBs 3480930304 3.2GB

Also, why does the DVD always show me 0 as TotalSizeInLBs?

Regards,
Annie

Hi!

That was a bug. Now we've added TotalSizeInLBs and UsedLBs properties and after passing QA we'll send the update to you. Thank you for pointing this out.
