MissingMediaBurner Bug

[carmine]

ERROR: Drive does not accept any cue sheet variant - please report.
ERROR: Writing failed.

no .cue files work. i have burned many svcd with MMB no problem prior to a couple days ago. im running 10.2.3, MMB .4 and a PowerMac 867.

I'm getting the same error. But, strangely enough, it's only when I try to overburn. Try burning a data image that's under 650megs and you'll see what I mean. Some folks over at the Version Tracker page for MMB have indicated the same problem.

I'm on a G4 733 with a Sony CRX140e and OSX 10.2.3

[carmine]

any ideas about overburning and what the bug is caused by? i have a bunch of images i need to burn...

[carmine]

doesnt seem like a superdrive bug. my tibook encountered the same problem. ross, do you have any ideas?

[Ross]

Well, let's start a timeline:

Here is my part, can someone feel in the dates of the Apple updates such as OS 10.x.x, QT, and any other that may have killed cdrdao?

Someone may want to d/l version 0.1 and give it a try. I should have versions 0.2 & 0.3 also, but not online.

Thanks for the info, Ross. My guess is that the problem lies with cdrdao. I tried v. 1.1.5 with the link you provided. However, I got a similar "could not send cue sheet" error when trying to overburn.

The error was a bit more verbose than with v.1.1.8-pre1. I'll paste it below:

We need to test versions 1.1.6-1.1.8 of cdrdao. Anyone save their copies?

A bit of good news:

I was able to compile cdrecorder using Fink and have it overburn the .bin images generated by MMB. It's not as sleek as MMB, but it will get the job done if you need to free up some HD space.

Perhaps someone could explain to me why rnc uses cdrdao instead of cdrecorder? The latter appears to be far more robust and effective.

[Ross]

I will explain:

It wasn't broke till now.

Send me the binaries, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,
RNC

any word ross? can you give us an update?

[Ross]

Sorry, got caught up playing with 42.
But, I am one of those that gets errors, and can't use 42.

So, I'll spend some time looking at the cdrecoder binaries.
Thanks to OmegaRedd1
