Second Session questions

[Zip]

Hello.

1st, Id like to thank you for this great software, I have recently discovered it, & I like it a lot.

 

I am wondering about second session scenarios I have faced;

1. with some drive like my Optiarc for example, burning a 2 session image (audio & data in my case) fails on the 2nd session:

03:27:11 Writing LeadIn...

03:27:17 Failed to Write Sectors 242580 - 242606 - Reason: No Seek Complete

03:27:17 Retrying (1 of 20)...

03:27:23 Retry Failed - Reason: No Seek Complete

03:27:23 Retrying (2 of 20)...

03:27:29 Retry Failed - Reason: No Seek Complete

 

So I have looked for an option to eject the CD after burning each session, thinking this might be the problem, as the drive works great & has no problems,

have not found it, did I miss it ?

 

2. Can I write a second session on open discs that already have a1st session ?

3. Can I specify a write offset for the Audio tracks ?

Looks more as an issue with low quality media.

 

Tried to write with a speed lower than max = 48x?

 

(Speeds: 8x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x)

nope as the 1st session burned fine,

did the exact same thing on my liteon, it had no problem, with the same crappy Verbatim.

I was thinking maybe some drives need ejecting after a session, but I am guessing here,

So, is it possible to make Imgburn eject the disc after each intermediate session ?
