Full Version: EAC and Leave CD Open
Hi everybody. I have a problem with EAC, when I try to burn a cuesheet using the option "Leave CD Open", I have two errors; one could be "Write Error: use option --force to use it anyway" or simply the writer does not write anything and the progress bar shows like it is burning, so what the problem could be, is the drive or EAC has problems writing open session cds?
By the way I'm using the latest EAC 0.99 prebeta 4. Thanks.

I have the same problem, and apparently that's a bug in EAC.
Since EAC uses CDRDAO for burning cuesheets, it must pass the "--force" option to CDRDAO (as said in the error) in order to burn that king of multisession "Enhanced CD" disc.

Yes, I've used CDRDAO and I also have unchecked the option and with no luck. I cannot write the open session cd for burning an Enhanced CD.
Perhaps it has to do with a lack of support for your drive. I have no such problem with either of the burners that I regularly use.

Actually I have two drives the LiteON LH-20A1H and the LG GSA-H62N. I don't use the LiteOn for writing cds because it produces high jitter and the cds that I burn there, are not playable on the cd players; so the LG is the writer I use.
I have no problems burning one session cds with ISRC and Cd-Text data, but when I am going to burn an open session cd, I can't for the error that I said. By the way which writer do you use? Another question : Do you burn with CDRDAO or not?

The problem occurs for me on Pioneer DVR-110D, DVR-111D and DVR-212D.
I've managed to capture the parameters string that EAC passes to cdrdao.exe:
CODE
"C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\cdrdao\cdrdao.exe" write --device SPTI:0,0,0 -n --swap --buffers 32 --overburn -v 5 --eject --speed 4 --multi "C:\Program Files\Exact Audio Copy\cdrdao\cdrdao.toc"
cdrdao.exe (trimmed) help:
QUOTE
--device [proto:]{<x,y,z>|device} - sets SCSI device of CD-writer
(default: 0,0,0)
--speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed
--multi - session will not be closed
--overburn - allow to overburn a medium
--eject - ejects cd after writing or simulation
--swap - swap byte order of audio files
--buffers # - sets fifo buffer size (min. 10)
--force - force execution of operation
-v # - sets verbose level
-n - no pause before writing
(default: 0,0,0)
--speed <writing-speed> - selects writing speed

I tried to burn a disc with the bundled CDRDAO 1.1.9 and that EAC-specified parameters, here is the complete error message:
QUOTE
WARNING: The toc type should be set to CD_ROM_XA if a multi session
WARNING: CD is recorded.
ERROR: Toc-file "image.toc" may create undefined results.
ERROR: Use option --force to use it anyway.
WARNING: CD is recorded.

The beginning of the .toc file I've tried to burn:

I guess, to fix the bug EAC should replace that CD_DA with CD_ROM_XA or pass the --force option to cdrdao.exe.

Plextor PX-716A and Yamaha CRW2200EQUOTE(Juan C. @ Mar 3 2008, 19:26)
Another question : Do you burn with CDRDAO or not?
not
Well, thanks for the info, I also tested a BenQ DW1620 and it also can't record the open cd. So, someone know a software that can record offset corrected cds or EAC is the only one capable of doing that?
Plextools, though I'm not sure if it will work properly with non-Plextor drives and it tacks on an extra frame if it sees that you're trying to burn non-null samples to the lead-out.
You can always apply an offset to the data manually.
You might want to try Moitah's WAV Tools:

I have got a LiteON LH-20A1H and had no problems playing Xtra CDs burnt with EAC and later Nero.
The LiteON LH-20A1H is a pretty good writer for its money. I don't see any problem in using it and burning at slow speeds with good quality media, of course.
Maybe Feurio has the option of setting a "write offset" but I am not sure 100%; it's been a long since I don't use it. Google a bit
EDIT
It seems Feurio has it:

Under "Program parameters" -> "Device parameters" -> "Special parameters" in the field "Sector offset" an offset can be entered which Feurio! automatically adds to every sector. I.e. if sector 0 is actually read, with an offset value of e.g. "2", "Read sector 2" is sent to the CD-ROM. Therefore by giving the "correct" offset value this error in the CD-ROM can be corrected.
This offset can currently only be found out by manually comparing the data but I am working on a function which will enable you to "calibrate" the CD-ROM by reading a test CD you have burned yourself.

You may be able to find a drive with a write samples offset of 0.
After doing some tests, I was able to burn a CD with open session but unchecking the Cd-Text and ISRC options. It seems that EAC (or CDRDAO) cannot write open session cds with this options checked.
Looks like this will be fixed in the next release...

Ok, thank you. Let's wait for the next release
.
Has this problem been fixed yet? I downloaded the newest version of EAC, and it still shows an error when leaving the CD opened; however, sometimes it just stays on "Writing Lead-In" and never completes. It writes about .69 megs and hangs. I have a Sony DRU-710a. I have to use the CDRAO method to burn in EAC; otherwise, it won't burn any CDs. Anyone know the status as to when this problem is truly going to be fixed?
Thanks.
