Summary0005718: Burning fails when DVD-RW disc is used in combination with 'Track-at-once' write method
DescriptionI have upgraded to the latest version (2.55) in order to test if for regressions. I tested various discs with various write methods and I found that my DVD-RW disc fails to burn when Track-at-once method is set on my LG burner. Nevertheless I also found that this problem isn't new. It fails also with current version (2.52) and with all Primo's DVDBurner sample apps from various versions (1.99, 2.51, 2.52, 2.55). Another tweak I found is that simulated burn doesn't take effect in this case, data are always written by both Primo's app and MM despite the fact whether simulated burn has been set or not (issue 0005719). I found out that the failure (burning DVD-RW, Track-at-once) is there if the Primo's DVDBurner sample has '[x] Append data to disc' checkbox ticked in order to burn multisession. In this case burn fails for newly formatted DVD-RW.

Ludek,
Can you please explain little bit further what you exactly fixed? eg. will newly formated DVD-RW will ignore selection of '[x] Append data to disc' checkbox (Continue multisession disk) and create new multisession DVD on DVD-RW or ...?

Just in case that some users complain.

Resolve and close after.

In MM the multissesion is used automatically unlike the Primo's sample app where the '[x] Append data to disc' needs to be ticked. I didn't fix their app, but I fixed it in our MM code (hpCDBurn.dll) where I added a check whether the disc is empty and in case it is an empty (newly formatted) disc then I don't try to burn multisession (don't try to append to the track which is in fact empty). This fixes the problem. There are no regressions, additional data can be still appended to this disc.

Tech note: Newly formatted DVD-RW is DVD-RW with restricted overwrite according to Primo's help and such a disc has only one track in session.
