DiscAtOncePQFromTree() failed

kuhlmasp · **Posted:** Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:05 pm

I'm getting a failure whenever I call StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_DiscAtOncePQFromTree() in my app. It reports:
ExceptionNumber=8;
SystemError=-858993460;
ExceptionText='CStarBurn_ScsiTransportASPI::ExecuteCDB(): Command failed'

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I'll e-mail a copy of the complete log

Source looks OK... Can you send debug log to support@rocketdivision.com? Thanks!

I sent the debug log.

You mentioned that it "cannot read track information for 'invisible' track." I've been using fresh CD-R discs right off the spindle, so they shouldn't be closed or anything.

Also, I've tried running the console sample "DiskAtOnceFromTree.exe 1 0 0 0 c:\pffolder\test 0" and received the following output:

DiscAtOnceFromTree:main(): EXITing with failure

anton (staff) · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:28 am

1) This is *VERY* interesting... Can you try TAO burning code with the same drive + media?

2) Verification failed. Need the log for this...

kuhlmasp · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:30 am

1) I'll give TAO burning in my app a try and see what happens

2) It looks like the Load() call failed, which makes sense, I think, since I'm doing this on a laptop (no motorized load/eject)

anton (staff) · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:48 am

1) Please do it!

2) Stupid me

Of curse! You cannot do DAO verification with manual loading devices w/o user assistance.

So looks like our own DAO burning code works fine. I'll double check your own call sequence as it looks like you've swapped some.

Thanks!

There are a couple of things you do wrong however...

1) You allocate READ cache for device you're using for burning. This is WRONG. It may work with modern hardware, but resulting disc quality would be LOW.

2) You don't probe for DAO/16 (RAW PQ) mode supported. In any case - DAO PQ is the worst mode. Try to use DAO/96 (RAW RAW P-W) if possible.

3) You don't send OPC before burning. This is WRONG as you don't allow device to probe laser. Resulting disc quality would be LOW.

I tried replacing the DiskAtOncePQFromTree() call with TrackAtOnceFromTree(). It seemed to burn without error and I just e-mailed you the log. However, when I re-insert the disk it appears to be blank, so I'm still doing something wrong. I'll try the suggestions you just made to see if that helps. Also, I checked the disk that I burned with the console sample DiskAtOnceFromTree.exe, and I can read that disk just fine (all the files/directories exist as I would expect)

kuhlmasp · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:09 pm

Oh, I forgot, I have tried different buffer sizes besides the READ buffer you saw in the code snippet I sent you, but always got the same result before. My current code has that set to 32MB

anton (staff) · **Posted:** Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:18 pm

Of couse you did

For TAO you need to manually CloseSession(...) after burning is done. You did not do this. You may finalize the disc with closeSession sample now, no data is lost. And fix your code for future.

For CD burning it must be at least 64MB (128 or more recommended), for DVD - 128+ MB (more you have - better performance would be). Not an issue in THIS case but definite "begger for troubles" in the future.

Oh, I forgot, I have tried different buffer sizes besides the READ buffer you saw in the code snippet I sent you, but always got the same result before. My current code has that set to 32MB

I tried TAO again after adding CloseSession() call and it all worked great!

I tried using the DiskAtOnceRawPWFromTree() call and it also worked great!

Is it just that my drive can't do DAO PQ mode? I had thought that was a preferred mode, but apparently not. I e-mailed you logs from all this.
Thanks for all your help!

1) Excellent!

2) Sounds like yes... There's a call to probe for write modes, I'll check what it tells (according to your logs). You also may to install Alcohol 120% and check would it report DAO/16 as available mode for your drive. Just to be sure (drive does not always report correctly what it really CAN do so probing would not always work - unfortunately...)
