Multisession Disc/AudioCD - Single ISO Image

wollka · **Posted:** Wed Feb 27, 2008 4:59 am

Hi,

How can I create an .ISO image from multisession Data Disc or AudioCD?

GUI Sample Image Grabber creates separate .iso files for each data track or .wav files for each Audio Track (AudioCD)...

I use VC++ 2005, MFC.

Thank you!

You cannot. Physically. ISO is a bunch of 2048 byte sectors with incremented numbers. Audio CD uses different sector format (2352 bytes of raw data + optional subchannel data to store f.e. CD-Text content) and multisession discs always have gaps between sessions. ISO is not designed for what you want it to use

Thanks for quick reply!
ok, so there is no way to make image/copy such discs with StarBurn SDK?

Make an MDS image with GrabDisc and burn it with SessionAtOnceRawRawPW sample. However StarBurn is not good for exact CD copy...
