Alvin George Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Some recommended ImgBurn to me.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Does it fail if you try and burn it for real? i.e. with 'Test Mode' disabled. Try some better discs. (Taiyo Yuden) Try some different write speeds. (16x, 24x etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvin George Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Well you're going to have to try something or you'll never progress! Good news. I've managed to burn for real three .cue files onto CD-R discs. Looks like ImgBurn's Test Mode has some "issues."

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Enabling 'Test Mode' just flips a single bit (in a byte) of a descriptor sent to the drive. So it's your drive that has the problem burning that particular disc with test mode enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Ah, you can't (always? - depends on the drive?) do 'test mode' on a multisession disc, it doesn't work (but obviously I don't block you from attempting to do it). Sending the 2nd cue sheet fails because the first session doesn't actually exist (because the drive hasn't physically written anything in the first session). Test Mode is ok for checking your hdd can support the transfer rate required for your chosen write speed, beyond that it's pretty much a waste of time. I honestly can't remember the last time I used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
