No chance in hell... Seems that I have to make a "new project" for each copy.

You're right there, about 2 sessions... I currently tried to burn the .cdi-image with CDBurnerXP. There was no error mentioned, but the disc is surely not a copy of that image.

DiscJuggler stopped the writing process because it was "unable to seek track 3 of 5". I'm going to have another try with maybe only 2 multiple sessions... Thank you for your help and ideas so far!

Well, I would like to have disc with multiple session for some testing reasons. Shortly expressed for testing other drives, if they are able to read multi-session discs (last session closed and not closed). Its' less about the data of the session, it's more about the sessions themselves.. I can create such discs by using a new project every time. But I'm still not able to duplicate discs. And furthermore the copies should be identical in case of some warranty reasons. So burning from an image might be the solution, as long as this is actually doable. Is there anywhere an announcement of Padus? I just see that their homepage is shut down. Your suggestion with Windows Vista / 7: I think I also would have to burn every single discs separatley, not? And, how mentioned yet, I'm able to do this separately, but I'm aiming for an improved dulication process. And I think I wouldn't be able to close (or close not) the last session then. So, ImgBurn can't handle that cdi-Image. But I also cannot build up a new image with ImgBurn (writing the data in these several sessions) for my issue, right? Greets

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Well, I created the master disc with Nero BurningROM. It's a data disc. Because of several complications at trying to get a multi-session image, I had to use DiscJuggler and created a .cdi-Image. I need this special multi-session disc, there's no chance to use clean single session copies of that. What possibilities do you think I have now, as long as the cdi-image does not serve as the copy-master. By the way, DiscJuggler also can't burn this cdi-image. While writing the third of five session, an error occurs. And, what? Padus vanished? So they won't reply to my support e-mail... Am I able to burn the data directly on ImgBurn, and get from there a better working multi-session-image? Or what did you just mean whith the "drag+drop explorer style burning built"? Is it something like, let's say "live-burning"? It should be an image... Thanks

Hey, I have a problem by burning a multi-session Blu-ray Disc. Weather from image or "Master"-BD-R... When loading the image (with 5 sessions), the error message "Initialise_Layout failed!" pops up. I read another topic, in which this problem was solved by using first the read, and then the write mode. But in that issue, it was about a "normal" CD. Now, my issues is about Blu-ray. When using the read mode with the BD-R (burnt within 5 sessions), the error message "Sorry, using Read mode to create image file from a multi-session BD-R disc is not currently supported." So, is ImgBurn going to support such issues in future or are there already some updates, which I do not have? If this feature will work in future, is there some date announced or contemplated? I think, the log file wouldn't help in any way, because the errors arent' mentioned there. So, I attached screen shots of the to pop-up messages. Best regards.
