DVD-Audio Burning

[Neil Wilkes]

I author my DVD-A/V discs using Sonic's DVD-Audio Creator package.

This has a "secret" applet that comes from Sonic called MakeIMG that turns the encoded Audio_TS and Video_TS from their own folders into an image with a .IMG extension.

When I load this into IMGBurn, it tells me the disc is not correctly mastered for OTP burning - and indeed it is not!

One of the options in DVD-Audio/Video "universals" is PTP mastering - especially if Layer 0 has less data than Layer 1 will have.

This particular disc has the cutting point set to track 1 of the Video_TS, so that the Audio_TS is on Layer 0 and the Video_TS is on Layer 1.

It matters not to the players:

A DVD-A capable player will first look for the Audio_TS.IFO files in the Audio_TS folder, and if it cannot find anything it will then look for Video_TS.IFO in the Video_TS.

Failing that it will look for a CD TOC.

 

Anyway - is there any plan to update IMGBurn to burn a PTP mastered DVD-Audio Image?

It would help me considerably.

Burner = Pioneer DVR-109 so no way to reset the book type to DVD-ROM as I can with GEAR.

It's impossible, the media itself will not allow L0

 

The media decides if it's OTP or PTP and all our DL discs are OTP.

 

You'll have to make your stuff fit with OTP media.

If your authoring package allows, try padding L0 so it is greater than L1. Your AUDIO_TS.IFO and ATS_0X_0.IFOs will need amending in the same way that a VIDEO_TS.IFO is for padding.
