"Drive does not accept any cue sheet variant"

I've just installed an LG GSA-4082B multi-format drive. It came OEM (no bundled s/w) and i'm experimenting with BurnAtOnce.

So far i've written simple data discs to CDR and things work fine.

However if I create a multisession disc (leave the first session unfinalised), then when I try to add files in a second session BAO fails with the error-

...
Executing power calibration...
Power calibration successful.
ERROR: Drive does not accept any cue sheet variant -
ERROR: Writing failed.

I'm not sure what this means. Is this a firmware limitation in the drive, or do I have my BAO options set wrong somehow? Any ideas much appreciated.

Bao

Bao is a great software if your drive is supported :)
To cut it short,i have a lg drive too and i have a same problem with bao when i was using it;everything worked except a multissession :eek:
Conclussion is that burning engine of bao(cdrdao)doesent fully support a drive.
There is nothing you can do abouit it,so either get a new drive or look for a new software :)
I would recomend diskjugller,nero or rnm4.50.
Diskjugller is great but complicated :eek: ,nero is ok if it works for you,rnm is best bet if you dont need too much features :)
I just saw now that youre using a 0.99.5 version.I used a 0.99b and i really hoped that it will work with a new bao couse cdrdao got updated recently,but i guess i was wrong :mad:

As said before its a well known CDRDAO issue with some drives, and AFAIK no remedy has been found yet. Maybe a firmware upgrade, who knows...

Damn. Still better to know now. Looks like I'll have to try different software.
Thanks for your help guys.

RNM (RecordNow Max) looks ok, but a mite expensive, nearly twice what i've seen nero 6 advertised for.

As you say DiskJuggler looks a lot more heavy-duty. Ok for me maybe but not family-friendly. It also lacks my favourite feature- virtual disks.

If only Alcohol had an image creation capability, not just copying/writing, I wouldn't need anything else. Maybe I will just live without multisession support and start nagging the cdrdao developers ;-)

Well, newer rnm are not as good as 4.50,so dont go for it if its not 4.50.I know it sound weird but its trye,really :)
Also,as Duracell says,nero5.5 is rewally cheap,for example here in canada is 5$,which is like 4 us$,and version 6 is not much better,and i would suggest to try dj as is the probably the best all in one combo,couse you said it only lacks virtual drive which alcohol got.Alcohol got daemon tools included as a vd,but you can download daemon tools for free,and get it.Its a best virtual drive,and all app which got v.drive is actually using a daemon tools.So download dt and dj and youre all set,couse dj is excelent for copy-protections and even better for audio extraction :) :)

They're doing Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD V7 for £9.99 (members) - if a non-member, either £1 extra, or join and collect a joining gift (a choice of items, priced about the same as the fee, so the membership is effectively free).

NB. That link just broke, but it's a featured item on http://uksoftware.com/
Sorry, doesn't support that drive
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/docsupport1.asp?division_id=1&langue_id=7&product_id=1152&product_name=&page_id=653&recorder=L
**CORRECTION** - looks like it DOES support it
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/docsupport1.asp?division_id=1&langue_id=7&product_id=1152&product_name=&page_id=653&recorder=H
Named as a "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4082B" - so it should cover that model in other variants as well

But if you want V8

See if you can find a UK upgrade link - it may be cheaper to get it that way!

Not the case. You can burn your Juggler compilations to the Padus virtual burner instead of a physical drive, the software will create a native .cdi CD/DVD image.
.cdi images can be mounted via either Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% perfectly well.
Also, if you open a Discjuggler mastering job and drop in a .cdi image the program will open a dialog box asking if this should be treated as a file or an image. If you pick "image" then you can actually EDIT your imagefile, which IMHO is unique feature in all mastering programs. Actually Juggler could do the same with ISO images as well a few releases ago, but it was removed as it was buggy.

BTW, From a UK magazine review I just picked up on a new option- CDBurnerXP.

This is available from www.cdburnerxp.se, it's pretty nifty, and it's freeware!

First impressions are that it's really pretty slick for a freeware app. I'm sure it
lacks some features by comparison with the commercial offerings, but it's definately worth trialling. I would be interested to know what the gurus on this forum make of it.

It hit a rough patch a while back (something about one update version not uninstalling properly) - it also had a guest forum here for a while ... on the undertanding that the author would turn up - after a while, that forum was suspended after serving as a bug report waste bin.

It might be worth looking at again - it seems to be recovering after the loss of some source in hardware failure, so I don't want to kick the guy after that kind of heartache.


Another one worth looking at - www.deepburner.com - again, some mixed reports... some say it's great, others call it a coaster factory.
At just 2.63 Mb, it's amazing for it's size - Ahead(Nero) and Roxio could certainly learn something from these guys.

Labels and a basic autorun builder as well!
