#1 Burning Software

Hello there Rockets,

I have had a couple of 'Illegal request' errors reported with Matshita DVD_RAM drives recently. Any idea what is going on? I am using Tomahawk. Here are the error messages:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks - Paul Sanders.

1) Yes I do. You burner does not support support DAO96 you're trying to use for CD. Switch to TAO or SAO.

2) It's a good idea to PROBE write modes before doing actual burn. And allow the user to pick up SUPPORTED ones.

3) For a faster turn around don't post log quotes. In nearly 100% of the cases we need complete log (not in this particular one however, you've been just lucky).

1. OK, thanks. I find it amazing that a modern drive behaves in this way.

2. I thought I already did this. I will check my code. But it may be that StarBurn (or, more likely, the drive) is claiming to support modes it cannot handle. I will report back on this if I learn anything useful.

3. These abbreviated logs are generally all I have (this is happening at a customer site). They are logged by my software and, I hope, are of more value than nothing at all. If a problem can't be resolved in this way, I will attempt to persuade the customer to collect a full log and then email it to you.

Thanks, as ever, for your prompt and efficient help Love the product.

Good

Hello again,

I am informed that Windows Media Player can burn CD-Text to these drives. I am not in a position to try this for myself as I do not have a drive to test with, but I believe the person who told me so. Is there any way this can be achieved with StarBurn? Thanks.
