#1 Burning Software

Hi Anton,

I've got a problem where I have an open DVD-RW with a single track. The disc is readable through Windows and looks like a good disc.

The problem is when I call StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetTrackInformation. I get the same information whether I use the hidden track or request info for track 1.

The NWA and free space is correct, but the blank field is set to TRUE which is wrong! Is this a known problem?

I can be clever and ignore your blank flag and simply check against (NWA != 0) but it would be better if the flags were correctly reporting the disc status.

I'll email you the code and log as it'll be too long for here.

Cheers,

Colin

1) It's OK. 0xFF is a "wildcard" for last opened track. So it can easily happen 0xFF == 0x01 in your particular case.

2) DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and formatted DVD-RW media are randomly writable. That's why you'll get TRUE as "track blank". You can write to this track. Really

Hmmmm. OK, I guess "blank" really means "writable" in this case!! Time to change my code then me thinks!!

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.

Yes, kind of
