DirectShow Error! when burning Neo Geo CD's

[cawley1]

Guys,

I have never had any problem burning any images in the past, regardless of format (even a Mac bootable DVD on the PC!), but I have just started to mess around with burning Neo Geo CD discs which are in CUE/ISO format, and I get this DirectShow Error! when trying to burn some discs, but not others!

 

Neo Geo CD files come rar'd in the following format: CUE file, ISO file and a load of MP3 files. Obviously the Neo CD will not read the MP3's, so I have been converting them back to WAV files with RazorLame.

 

I have managed to do three discs fine, but have hit a problem with the other three I have attempted up till now, when it is adding the WAV files during the pre-burn bit, it sometimes puts the following error up when adding some WAV files, but not others... The error is as follows;

 

DirectShow Error! - IMediaEvent:WaitForCompletion

 

File Name: F:\Neo Geo CD ISO\Plustar\Pulstar - Track 04.WAV

 

Index Progress: 35,191,800 bytes

 

Reason: An operation was aborted because of an error. (0x00000003)

 

Would you like to continue anyway and set this as the end of the file?

 

If I say no, it kicks me back to the start burn screen. If I say yes, it will begin the burn, but when it gets to the problem WAV file, it pauses the burn, puts up a very similar error, but the final comment is something like;

 

'Would you like to continue anyway and fill the remainder of this Index with digital silence?'

 

I said OK to this, so I will see what happens, but what can I do to get all of the discs burning properly, as with the three I had no problems with?

 

Any help appreciated!

Cheers,

Paul

Assuming those extra tracks are CD Audio, ImgBurn can itself convert them from MP3 to CD Audio, so burn it from the files extracted from the RAR arvchive and it should work

On testing, the Pulstar disc seems to be fine, all the music tracks play in the music test, so maybe this is not a major problem, but I would still like to know why it puts up this random error!

The directshow filter responsible for converting your WAV file to CD Audio is the one who gave that error, and that's why I said you could burn straight from the MP3s.

How exactly do I do this???!

Just load the original cue in write mode and burn.... same as you would do for any other image.

Thanks for the quick reply!

When I open the CUE file in noteplad, it had the MP3 files as the appear in the folder, with the .mop3 extension.

If I just burn the CUE, won't this just burn them as MP3's to the CD, why would Imgburn think they needed converting to WAV's?

Those MP3s were made from the CD Audio tracks of the original disc (probably because they use less space than WAV files), hence, in order to burn a copy of that disc, they'll be converted back to CD Audio by ImgBurn, just like they were on the original disc.

[cawley1]

I just tried one without converting first, and it worked a treat!

 

I still don't understand why Imgburn does this, I saw it adding the MP3 files in order, but it didn't ask me if I wanted them converted to CD Audio, why does it do this when the CUE has them as MP3 files?

 

As this worked fine, will I need to re-burn the few that I have done that put up the DirectShow error, as these seem to work fine, or is there some silence at the end of the problem audio tracks?

 

Cheers,

Paul

It didn't ask you because ImgBurn knows what it's doing

 

As for the bad discs only you can tell if they're silent or not, what we can tell you is that it shouldn't have errored out, so to be safe you need to burn those again

The CUE has the tracks written down as being AUDIO ones, that's just how CUE files work. Remember you're burning an image file here, not building up a new data disc (which is what you'd use to store MP3 files on a disc).

 

The AUDIO tracks could link back to audio files of any type... wav, mp3, wma, flac etc and ImgBurn will always convert them to raw CD-DA data (because that's what it has to do).

Thanks for all your help guys!
