Imgburn + AnyDVD

[HiBob]

I'm using AnyDVD in the background now (seeing as I just purchased it) and it will be running when I use imgburn to burn my iso's. AnyDVD uses ElbyCDIO to access the DVD Burner and since it runs in the background I am guessing that I should change the ImgBurn I/O prefs to use ElbyCDIO?

Is there anything negative with this? Should I just use default SPTI and have anydvd shut down?

 

Thanks in advance,

AnyDVD has no positive effect on ImgBurn, infact it makes things worse.

 

You can leave the I/O settings on SPTI, and yes, if you intend on verifying what you burn, disable AnyDVD before doing so.

LUK, what do you mean by it makes things worse? Do you mean because of the verify or do you mean AnyDVD simply shouldn't be running during the burning process?

 

I also had a question about the interface. STPI or ElbyCDIO?

Because of the verify errors it can introduce.

Ok, as long as AnyDVD is turned off it won't cause problems right?

 

Should I keep the I/O as STPI or change to Elby? Also, could you tell me what the STPI use 'CDrom' class is?

 

Thanks LUK.

Correct.

 

SPTI is default and it's what I use day in, day out.

 

Hardware devices in the PC are assigned classes. One of those classes is a 'CdRom' class and it allows access to all of the optical drives in the machine. They're accessed via names like CdRom1, CdRom2, CdRom3 etc.

If you don't use that then it goes via drive letters C:\, D:\, E:\ etc.

It wouldn't make any difference really unless you have weird drives or ones that don't have drive letters.

Awesome. Thank you.
