External cd/dvd drive not working properly with PA Burner
-
You mean it froze PA Burner right? As those are two separate applications actually, closing PA Burner has nothing to do with PA 2010 itself.
Seems like session info was not recorded properly in that case. We will know more once new burner is ready.
thanks

It briefly recognized the external drive the first time I used it when I tried the first burning job. After the first burning job didn’t work…it no longer reads the drive for CD/DVD jobs.
I just wanted to confirm I a similar issue with v11.50.61
I got to 98% in the burning process, then gave an error (dont recall what it said). Ejected the disk and from that point failed to recognize any blank disk inserted.
The OS also wouldnt recognize when a blank disk was inserted. Reboot didnt fix it. I had to unplug the drive, boot up into Windows, then plug the drive back in. Now the OS can see the drive and I can burn from the shell. Havent tried it again in PA.
The file I was burning was a 1 GB ISO image. Vista Business x86 SP1. The drive is a Toshiba H653A.

So far so good on my end. I need to test it on my external tomorrow before giving it a full thumbs up.

did you check with your external drive? We just added support for another burning method (SPTD) in PA 2010, in latest preview version. It is actually faster (20% in our tests it might be different) and lets multiple devices use burner at same time (which is problem with other burning methods).
It is automatically installed once you get latest PAVD update… let us know how it works.

I just installed the PA 2010 (latest build) today. I’ll test it to see if this works on my external burner.

Something is wrong…I get an error dialog box saying “wrong Starburn.dll file”. What’s going on? And what is this PAVD thing you’re referring to?

hm, check the dates on files:
PABURNTOOLS.EXE
Starburn.dllin your PA folder. They should be 7.9.2009 and 13.08.2009 respectivly.

Actually I’m reading
PABURNTOOLS.EXE as 8.9.2009
Starburn.dll as 13.08.2009So in conclusion…I think I’m using an even more updated version of PABURNTOOLS.EXE while Starburn.dll appears incorrect…because it’s not updated for the PaBurnTools.exe date. This is probably why I’m getting the error message when I hit the option VD button.

Only when I select the Virtual Drive button.
thats is fine, i thought you were getting it in burner because thats what we were talking about previously :)… just do the Web Update via Help, and you will get latest VD drivers which i talked about :-).
