Problems Burning on a Drive

Hi,

I'm having some problems burning on one of my tester's drives (CDRW/DVD SM-308B SAMSUNG). The drive is recognized as by my code as a burning drive because:

Code:

StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetSupportedMediaFormats()

tells me that: IsCDRWrite and IsCDEWrite are both true.

But then when I try to burn and query:

Code:

StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_ProbeSupportedWriteModes()

All values that are returned are FALSE? If I try to burn using track at once anyways I get EN_SCSI_CDB_FAILED as an error. The information returned in is as follows:

Code:

m__UCHAR__CDB - 85 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 60 0
m__UCHAR__Sense - 112 0 5 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 0 36 0
m__UCHAR__TransportStatus - 4
m__UCHAR__TargetStatus - 2
m__UCHAR__HostAdapterStatus – 0

I tried to get the Starburner log by getting them to run startburn.reg, but nothing is getting written to the logfile except for the logfile header information.

The tester is normally able to burn properly with this drive, they are running Windows XP Pro SP2.

Does anyone have any information on this problem or a possible solution?

Send me debug log. If you're not able to get logs you're either did not set debug facility value to correct one or you're using wrong libraries (release instead of debug).

Ahh the problem was that I wasn't using the debug DLL's, thanks for that information!

Here is the section of the logfile that seemed to contain the most important information (I can send you the whole thing if you need):

Got it... Looks like it does not tolerate setting BURN-Proof bit. Please drop me a message to anton@rocketdivision.com and I'd issue you with test version for your customer. Thanks!

1) OK, I've sent test DLL to your published e-mail account (seems to be corporate one). Let me know - did you receive the stuff or not

2) It's a good idea to have larger cache buffer. You allocate very small one (we do increase it to have at least size of the hardware device cache) but you'll give burner hardware EXTREMELY hard times

This one is not related to SAMSUNG 308B issue - just seen the bad thing in the log and wanted to share some of the ideas with you

1) Thanks Anton I have received the e-mail and the test dll that you have sent me. I have forwarded the test dll onto my testers and will get back to you with the results.

2) As far as the cache size I have set it to a value that I found in one of your samples:

Code:

1024 * 2028 /*small cache in order to allow 
      fast reaction to cancelled burn*/

What would be a more reliable size for the cache?

Thanks for the great support!

1) Good. I'm waiting for feedback.

2) Check the sample - it does not do burning so for fast device creation (like when you'll grab the disc later or do erase or just want to enumearate the media) it's good to pass small cache size (less memory would be allocated). For true burning I/O please pass either 0 (StarBurn would allocate default 160 megabytes) or pass value working for current system (not more then 40% of the free physical unallocated memory).
