How to not to write lead-in/out and Not finalise?, also how to find cdb commands and input of imgburn?

[A5H4D]

hi, i have just registered to ask this question. i would like to run a test and i would like to burn an iso... but without lead-in/out and for the disc not to be finalised. i have searched the internet and the closest thing was cdrecord under linux.

 

in this program it shows under verbose mode the CDB commands going to the dvd writer. i seen something about write reserve track and opc this is the time when it is burning the lead-in/out and then shows "write g1" and sends a block of data. it also shows me the block of hex code and the data sending.

 

i have seen this because i have modded my lite-on usb etau108 so the lid remains open and can see the laser move. the best i have come up with is to swap the disc at the time of writing the data. but this is innacurate as some sectors are on the 1st with lead in.

i also have another idea is to write a batch file in linux. so that i can write the data onto another disc using the swap but have a pause to give me enough time to swap. but i am not so good at programming.

 

something like

1 use split of raw data of iso to 2048bytes

2 use cdb commands to initialise the drive for burning

3 send the reserve track lead-in and get opc and

4 then wait sending ready command repeatedly to burner or pause

5 swap disk and then burn 100% of the data. using sg3_utils in a batch file from the 2048 segments from the split command above.

 

it seems the only way to do what i want to test is to learn about how burning software works maybe i dont have to write a lead-in/out atall.

lastly can this be done in imgburn atall?

The drive does the necessary lead-in stuff automatically, it's not done by the software.

 

ImgBurn always closes tracks/sessions/discs when it burns and that can't be turned off.

 

So, no, ImgBurn isn't going to help you.
