kickaha Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hello, I searched and found this: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=13901 but I could not add a post. Why write errors can't be ignored so imgburn could keep on burning the following data? Wouldn't I have just that file corrupted? Burners don't allow the application to continue? I have a BD burner (LG BH10LS30) and I use it for backup purpose on BD-R SL/DL. I always use good media and verify everyone of them, and if the error rate is very low I could keep it and burn only a copy of the corrupted files on the next media with other data. Thanks for the reply, kickaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 You just can't do it. Yes, the burner prevents it. Media must be written sequentially, you can't just write random sectors. (*except for on DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and BD-RE, but the program still doesn't allow for it - and nor will it ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickaha Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thank you for the answer, it's clear. Built-in BD-R spare area mechanism wouldn't help in such a case? (I don't care if it takes twice the time to burn the disc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Any special stuff the drive does when a certain type of media is present is its business. You'd probably have to disable the 'BD-R Verify Not Required' option in the Settings for the drive to do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickaha Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'll give it a try, but as I read here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=13702 would this "format a blank BD-R media setting up the spare area"? I use quotes because I really don't know how it works, but reading blu-ray white paper and here: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ (BD-R section) it's something to be done before writing the media. Thanks again for your time. [OT] By the way, you're doing a really great job! "Being the nice program I am..." LOL! It's true! [/OT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I guess it depends on the drive and what its firmware tells it to do. Maybe some will default to verifying each write on BD-R (where VNR is then useful) and others won't (where VNR is then NOT useful). Yes, there is a command you can send to prepare BD-R with spare areas - there is nothing in ImgBurn that can send it though. I could easily change that by adding it (support for BD-R) to the normal 'Erase -> Full' routines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickaha Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 That would be really nice. Thank you, kickaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 This has now been implemented. The program can format BD-R so spare areas / defect management are enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
