Burn Layer One Only to See Menus

[turnkit]

Request a feature that allows me to burn layer one onto a DVD+RW only of a dual layer disc. I know most people don't need this but currently imgburn will say that the dual layer disc won't fit, and then ask if it should burn anyway. When I say "yes" it errors out:

 

 

E 14:25:04 Failed to Reserve Track! - Reason: Invalid Field in CDB

E 14:25:07 Operation Failed! - Duration: 00:00:08

 

It would be nice if the 2nd layer could be ignored.

 

Right now as a work around I wrote a little batch script using a cygwin dd.exe that splits the .iso image into it's first half and burns this. This just takes a lot of unnecessary time and copying but does work around the problem.

 

Ideally if the menu's or jacket picture were on layer two a warning could be flagged (and if easily done) the content could be offered to move to disc one.

 

Don't mean it to be complicated but even a simple "half burn" feature would be useful so I can check menus and layer one content.

 

thanks for considering.

Sorry, this isn't a bodge I fancy implementing.

 

I can't see where you're getting that 'Failed to Reserve Track!' message from, it should never appear if you're using DVD+RW.

 

What's stopping you from testing your compilation in a software player?
