Export data graph dates wrong

[JasonFriday13]

I decided to create a coaster of one of my DVD+Rs to see if my drive will burn at 20x like the box says, which it did. I turned on exporting of graph data so I could show you the results.

 

This is where the problem lies. Using discovery mode, after burning and verify, I expected two graph files, one for the burn, and one for the verify. But I only found one file. The log confirms that the burn graph was overwritten by the verify graph, and the last modified date on the file was 8:09 pm (same time shown in the log). Of course, I have attached my log:

And I have attached the graph file in question (will probably be the verify graph):

HL_DT_ST_DVD_RAM_GSA_H55L_1.05_WEDNESDAY_27_FEBRUARY_2008_7_58_p.m._MCC_004_00_MAX.ibg

both the burn and the verify are shown in your graph jason, the yellow is the write and the light blue the verify, this is normal

 

if you want two separate just click on either verify on dvdip or write

 

 

[JasonFriday13]

That's normal?! I was busy panicking because I thought I had overwritten my burn graph with the verify graph. I don't have DVDinfo Pro so I had no idea that both graphs had merged. Thanks corny.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Yes it's totally normal.

[JasonFriday13]

Just a small suggestion now, if you export to the same file again, maybe the log could show something like "Graph export merged successfully!".

 

Anyway, I would have posted this in Imgburn general if I didn't have this misunderstanding.

Technically it's not merging them.

 

The file is not opened/read/added to/written back, it's simply overwritten by the new set of graph data that contains info from the entire process - i.e. Write and Verify - where it's all held in memory.
