Problems burning using CUE sheet

BMWZ3 · #1 05-12-2001, 09:29

I'm using CDRWIN. Everytime I try to burn a PS2 game using the CUE sheet that comes along with the BIN file, I get a Write command failed.

But if I burn it loading the bin file as an audio track, it burns fine. Problem is that some games don't seem to load if I burn it as Audio track, but some do.

I have a JVC 2010 that only burns at an incredible 2x .

I see the difference between the 2 methods is that one will be a MODE 2 CD and the other will be audio CD, does that mean my CD burner cannot support MODE 2 ??

CDRWin detects the modes that your burner can support and acts accordingly. One way to definitvely check is to download CloneCD and use your JVC 2010 as both reader and writer. Examine the CloneCD screens and it will telly ou exactly what the drive is capable of doing. The drive is good if it supports RAW burning.

Hope that helps.

Try scaning the file for corruption using fireburner before burning. You are using a older burner that isn't supported by clone cd so cdrwin is the best software for you to use, be sure error recovery is set to abort and raw is checked .

Nightstalker isn't usually wrong but I only slightly beg to differ.

He's right in that JVC 2010 is not in the CloneCD compatible list; but many burners that work aren't in the list and work. So it's worth a try to have CloneCD do this functionality test for you.

As you have a Mode 2 cue sheet, you shouldn't have to set CDRWin burning parameters to RAW. I use this setting if I don't have a cue file and CDRWin usually gives an error message if you manually set it and the cue file is mode 2.

Raw should always be checked when reading. To my knowledge if you cannot read and write raw data then the backup won't work.

Nightstalker and I are in agreement.
