CDrecord errors...

[HardDriv'n]

I'm attempting to create a multi session disc with cd-da, using cdrecord on Windows Vista (x86).

After running this at the command line: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -multi -pad -audio *.wav

This is the message I receive after I get a "cdrecord has stopped working" message for each track.

Any ideas?

The reason I'm using cdrecord is for a very specific purpose, so suggesting alternative burning programs would not be helpful.

A quick search let me see that this kind of error appears with other programs running on cygwin.

I think it could be not the best idea to run this kind of program over a linux API emulation. Try it directly on linux.

Well, the good thing about life its that everyone has his/her own reasons.

The reason why I am not suggesting you another app, nor suggesting you anything else, is that you do not detail the "very specific purpose".

Just in order to not appear completely unhelpful, I will throw in the "gracetime" command, without comments.

I'm trying to burn a 2 session disc with the cd-da as the first, and an ISO (9660 format) as the second.

Maybe cdrecord isn't compatible with Vista? DO you know of any way to do the above with a different app on Vista 32 or 64?

That is a form of hybrid CD, "mixed mode", the so called CD-Extra (CD Plus or Enhanced CD).

A number of commercial tools will do this kind of cd's.

The procedure using cdrecord and mkisofs is sketched here:

But you seem like having problems with the first run of cdrecord, it is very possible that Vista breaks compatibility with cdrecord, but it may also depend on the actual build/version you are using.

Latest versions should be Vista compatible, but you may need to compile yourself:

Latest compiled Win32 port should be this one:

You can also try to launch it in "compatible mode".

Seems all I had to do was use the latest version, thanks for the links to the Win32 binaries.

Actually after actually testing the disc, I guess it wasn't the end of my woes...

Cdrecord seemed to burn the cd-da and the second session iso propery, but when I go to view the disc it shows up as blank..?

I'm using Memorex cd-rws for this. It doesn't seem to matter whether they are burned for the first time or erased/reused discs.

Anyone ever get a recently burned disc reading as blank on a Vista 32/64 bit OS?

Try checking the .iso with good ol' CDMAGE:

And see if it looks "right".

I ended up creating a disc with an audio dummy 1st session track, and the second session iso. I then burned it with Alcohol 120% successfully, so it's not the discs.

Still I'm left unable to create the disc with cd-da...

To be honest, even when trying on the Win98-XP oses with older version, cdrecord failed ALOT. It has to be the worst piece of free software I've ever attempted to use.

Could someone recommend any commercial software that could accomplish the above task? I'd be willing to fork out some cash for a mostly headache free proggy capable of this.

[jaclaz]

Can you post the exact procedure you are following?

Maybe there is something in it.

I have previously used Nero(I used latest v6, as the newer versions where two bloated) to add an iso as second session to a cd-r left open with audio tracks on it... This is something that not many apps can do if the second session is an image, since the images LBA's needs to be corrected to new LBA's i.e. of the second session(to technical, just forget that...)

Anyway, I'm not 100% sure, as i haven't tried it, but try the freeware ImgBurn(newer versions)... Go into 'write' mode and select 'create cue' and then add your audio files, and then select 'add a new session' or 'ctrl+s' and add the image...
