theshanetrain Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I am trying to burn a DDP file w/ imgburn. Can imgburn do that?
blutach Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Use build mode, as you would for any other file. See the guides. But, what program generated this file? Regards
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Isn't that a replication master image? No, you can't burn those with ImgBurn.
theshanetrain Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Yes it is, my check disks all came out clean, but when it was replicated it came out bad, so I was wondering if there was anyway to burn off of the DDP so that I could test myself.

Hi, it is possible to burn a disc from data files of supplied DDP files BUT only in several specific cases: - IMAGE.DAT or similar main data file must start at sector 150 or later (for files starting before sector 150 you can use a hex-editor to remove the pregap) - it is always better to work with one big file instead of several separate tracks (CD-Audio tracks, Video CD tracks) - it is not easy to burn multisession DDP without proprietary software or some modifications - only DDP without any protection (CSS, ...) 1) CD-ROM with 2048 bytes/sector or single layer DVD-ROM, DVD-Video - just burn IMAGE.DAT or the largest file of DDP set - similar as burning an ISO image 2) CD-ROM with 2352 bytes/sector prepare a CUE sheet with something like FILE "IMAGE.DAT" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 - burn the CUE sheet and verify the disc 3) CD-Audio - it is more difficult to burn from DDP because you have to create track times for CUE sheet from times specified in PQDESCR text file (subtract 2:00 etc.), but it is possible too. 4) Dual layer DVD - more complicated but can be done - use "Create DVD MDS File" option from "Tools" menu - insert main data file for Layer 0 first!! and then!! the data file for Layer 1 - layer break field should be filled with number of sectors of Layer 0 (the length of the file /2048) - you should know if the DDP files are prepared for the OTP or PTP disc and should choose the proper one - save the MDS file to the parent folder of both layers (not to L0 or L1 folder) - burn the MDS file and verify the disc I hope it will help you with the DDP files. Ask more if needed. Regards, Edited April 15, 2009 by Jiri Zita
