have a question,

[hn4n]

according to what i have read from the admin's reply(http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/20476-audio-cd-verify/?hl=+cd&do=findComment&comment=142925) ,does it mean that verify cd-da data would fail in most of the conditions (if i enabled this function at options) since  drives offset audio samples when reading/writing (what you write to a specific sector isn't what you'll get back when you read it)?

thank u

[hn4n]

and can u explain in more details wether there is also drive offset when reading/writing data discs?

thank u

Yes, it would fail for most drives.

 

The only ones I can think of that verify cd-da discs without a problem are LiteOn ones. Their read/write offsets must cancel each other out.

 

I'm not the person to talk to about offsets, search Google if you want to know more.

[hn4n]

but why other burning softwares like ashampoo and nero can verify written data after burning a image of a audio cd succesfully very often?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Maybe they don't? Maybe they don't compare the data at all? Or if they really want to compare CD-DA sectors, maybe they take a best guess at the offsets by comparing what's coming from the image and what's coming from the drive and try to match a certain number of bytes to find out when they're in sync... I've no idea.

 

I just know that when you write a sectors worth of CD-DA to a given sector and then read it back again, what you get back is normally different.

[hn4n]

by the way,is it possible to write cd-da data to a blank dvd disc(like dvd+r, dvd-r,or dvd+r dl)?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Nope, CD only.

 

DVDs only support 2048 byte sectors and CD-DA is 2352 bytes.

thank u very much for your reply ,u are so kindhearted.
