Burning in RAW mode


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is there a facility for burning CDs in RAW mode? I have seen that you can scan CDs in RAW, but what about burning them, please? Yes, I have looked first :) !

for DVDs

---------

Writing in 'RAW' does what it says on the tin.

It writes the disk exactly as you tell it too.

With/without bad sectors etc.

With current DVD-RW drives,

they only 'allowed' to burn in DOA/96.

The RAW writing mode for DVDs was never made due to a copyright law

 

 

for CDs

----------

To copy a disc in "raw" mode, you need the right reader, the right writer,

and the right software. Programs like CloneCD specialize in "raw" copies,

but require that the CD-ROM drive used to read discs and the recorder used

to write them support "raw" reads and writes. The web page for CloneCD

is a good place to look for a list of capable hardware.

ImgBurn doesn't support the 'Raw' write type, just SAO, TAO and Incremental.

RAW Mode for burning CDs would be awesome indeed.

 

I've been using CDRWin for years and since I changed my drive, the "RAW" option has become greyed-out in CDRWin.

I suspect because support for drives newer than 2010 has just never been implemented in this soft (which is now dead :/)

 

Looking for a solution, I found Alcohol 120% does support RAW mode for my drive and it works just fine.

But I'm otherwise _really_ not a fan of Alcohol and certainly wished I could do the same in ImgBurn instead and ditch Alcohol (lol).

 

I hope LIGHTNING would reconsider a RAW option for Write Mode (at least for CDs!).

Raw mode doesn't even apply to DVDs, nor ISO image.

Hi LIGHTNING, so is there hope in the future for burning CDs in RAW DAO mode?

That'd be really awesome.

See you,

Not really, no.

 

You'll have to continue to use existing solutions.

Keyword "really"! There's some hope, even if so slightly ;)

Rosanna,

 

There's just no such thing as RAW mode for DVD/BD.

 

Moving to different countries etc doesn't come into it.
