Disk at Once for DVD?

Hello again :roll:

Can StarBurn write Disk at Once (ISO Image) to DVD?
Everytime I have tried I get the following error:

Quote:

DiscAtOnceFromFile:main(): StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_DiscAtOncePQ[RawPW]FromFile() failed, exception 10, status 31, text 'CStarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber::DiscAtOnceRawPW(): Disc type ( 8 ) not valid for DAO'

No. DVD media can be recorded in Track-At-Once mode only.

P.S. This is question of terminology. B/s DVD+RW/DVD+R/DVD-RAM media don't use "write parameters mode" page at all, DVD-R is recorded in Session-At-Once and DVD-RW is recorded in Packet-At-Once mode. However as you work with 2048 bytes per sector from programmers point of view "DVD DAO" is closer to what Track-At-Once for CD media is

I tried Track at Once from file to burn an ISO image and seem to have come accross a strange problem.
I compiled and used your sample TrackAtOnceFromFile.exe to write an ISO to DVD...everything went ok and it said it completed successfully....BUT - if I try to make an image of the recorded disk it get's to 99% and always gives an error!
I know what you are thinking

probably a media error... I thought the same thing! so I tried again...and again....and again! and always the same thing happens.
I've tried different DVD media (including DVD-RW), I've tried different ISO images and I've tried different programs to make an image of the burnt disk...same error...I've even tried burning with another writer but still I get the same problem

StarBurn seems to have problems starting from one of the latest releases - reports one logical block more capacity then it's in real life. Please use GrabTrack(...) code and pass TRUE to "ingore read errors" as workaround. We'll take care of thes issue in one of next updates (not the one would be released today).

I see a new version is released (5.5.17)....is this problem fixed now? :lol:

Nope. I don't know why but I've missed this one in the ToDo list. I'll catch up ASAP.

I'm busy with fixing this problem right now so would you please name StarBurn API calls which fail for you during grabbing? Thanks!

StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TrackAtOnceFromFile is the API call I used. It seems to burn the ISO to dvd fine....it's only when I try to make another image of the burnt disk that I get the error.

This one is used for *BURNING* and seems to work fine. The one who fails is for *GRABBING* and I'm intererested in it's name

Yes - it does seem to burn the image okay. But if you try and make an image of the new disk it gets to 99% and fails always. This happens on several different types of software.

I haven't tried to grab an image of the new burnt disk using starburn yet as I didn't think it was a starburn 'grabbing' problem - more of a 'burning' problem.

What software did you use? I need to be 100% sure to reproduce the problem.

I tried several - but the one I use the most is DVD Decrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.com/)

anton (staff) · **Posted:** Wed May 25, 2005 8:25 pm

Well... I don't like this guy for the way he comments our software on the forums but I'll grab a DVD-Dec stuff and would try to make a ISO image from StarBurn recorded DVD. Would let you know about results (and possible fixes). Thanks!

Some bad news for you: I've wasted a couple of +R and -R disc recorded on the different recorders and DVD decrypted grabs different images just fine. So I guess you have incompatible or cheap media... Please verify can you copy all of the files to \nul (is content fully readable).

Whatever updates you did to the latest version (5.5.26) seems to have fixed the problem!
Is this the version you did your testing on I wonder?
It was not a 'cheap media' problem as I tested with verbatim dvdr which usually never fail for me.
After reading your last post I tested again on version 5.5.17 and had exactly the same problem....I then updated to v5.5.26 - used the same media, same recoreder and same ISO file and it worked perfect.
