|
||||
About overwriteable, blank, appendable and finalized DVD-R[W] media :
|
||||
|
||||
DVD-RW can be either in formatted state Restricted Overwrite or in unformatted
|
||||
state Sequential Recording. Sequential media can be either blank, appendable
|
||||
or finalized.
|
||||
|
||||
Only blank and appendable media are sequentially writeable. For overwriteable
|
||||
DVD-RW see the Overwriteable DVD Cookbook.
|
||||
|
||||
Overwriteable DVD-RW can be detected by their profile number 0013h in contrast
|
||||
to profile number 0014h for sequential DVD-RW.
|
||||
The status of sequential media can be inquired like with CD by 51h READ DISC
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Finalized, appendable or overwriteable DVD-RW can be brought into blank
|
||||
sequential state by command A1h BLANK with blanking type 000b "Blank the disc".
|
||||
See TAO Multi-Session CD Cookbook for details about blanking.
|
||||
|
||||
Different from CD it seems unwise to use minimal blanking (type 001b) because
|
||||
my two DVD drives do not offer the Incremental Streaming feature 0021h with
|
||||
DVD-RW which have been treated this way. cdrecord and cdrskin even stall when
|
||||
examining these media (exact command and cause is still to be determined).

|
||||
Obtaining DVD-R[W] multi-session info for extending ISO-9660 filesystems :
|
||||
|
||||
Like with CD it is necessary to obtain the two numbers for mkisofs option -C
|
||||
in order to prepare a ISO-9660 filesystem image which by its inner pointers
|
||||
matches the block addresses of the future location on media.
|
||||
These are the start address of the first track in the last complete session
|
||||
and the predicted start address of the track which will host the new image.
|
||||
See TAO Multi-Session CD Cookbook for some more info about mkisofs aspects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The first number may be gained by 43h READ TOC/PMA/ATIP Format 0001b which in
|
||||
table 478 promises quick access via Start Address Of First Track In Last
|
||||
Session.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.26.2.5 table 478, 6.26.3.3.1)
|
||||
Regrettably the MMC-5 specs still define a useless reply for non-CD media
|
||||
which obviously stems from MMC-3 times when no multi-session was possible
|
||||
with non-CD.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.26.3.3.3)
|
||||
Both my drives do give a useful reply with the correct number for appendable
|
||||
DVD-RW. But not being backed by the specs this method appears unappealing .
|
||||
|
||||
Another approach would be a formatted Table of Content, obtained by 43h READ
|
||||
TOC/PMA/ATIP Format 0000b. The specs do not totally outrule that this returns
|
||||
useful data with non-CD but they define a crippled TOC for multi-session.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.26.3.2.4)
|
||||
My LG drive returns a more detailed TOC, my NEC drive stays with the rather
|
||||
suboptimal specs. So one would get different TOCs on different drives.
|
||||
Nevertheless, the MMC-5 compliant TOC would return the desired number in
|
||||
the Track Start address of the track with the highest number before AAh.
|
||||
|
||||
Most stable seems the approach to obtain the desired number from the reply
|
||||
of 52h READ TRACK INFORMATION, Address/Number Type 01b. The field Logical Block
|
||||
Address/Track/Session has to bear the track number of the first track in the
|
||||
last complete session. To determine this number one has to determine the
|
||||
number of the last session and the number of the last track from 51h READ DISC
|
||||
INFORMATION and to iterate over the tracknumber by 52h READ TRACK INFORMATION
|
||||
until the first track with the desired session number appears and reveils
|
||||
its start address.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.22 51h DISC, 6.27 52h TRACK)
|
||||
This method is very near to fabricating an own TOC. So libburn does this
|
||||
when inspecting the media. If the first number for -C is needed, libburn
|
||||
inquires its TOC model for the address of the first track in the last
|
||||
complete session. See below for a detailed description of TOC fabrication.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The second -C number is the exact prediction of future track start address. It
|
||||
is gained like with CD by 52h READ TRACK INFORMATION Type 01b. Different from
|
||||
CD one may not use track number FFh but has to use the Last Track in Last
|
||||
Session from 51h READ DISC INFORMATION.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.22 51h DISC, 6.27 52h TRACK)
|
||||
|
||||

||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Obtaining a Table Of Content from DVD-R[W] :
|
||||
|
||||
The raw TOC entries from 43h READ TOC/PMA/ATIP Format 0010b as described with
|
||||
CD media are not available with non-CD.
|
||||
There is a Format 0000b "Formatted TOC" but this is with non-CD a fictional
|
||||
information much at the discretion of the drive. Two drives with the same disc
|
||||
may well return different Formatted TOC. They are supposed to be consistent
|
||||
only about the last complete session and even there the MMC-5 specification
|
||||
6.26.3.2.5 seems to prescribe a structure which does not match the true
|
||||
structure of incremental writing to sequential DVD-R[W].
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.26.3.2)
|
||||
So i prefer not to use this method of getting a TOC.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The alternative is to produce an own TOC from information gained by 51h READ
|
||||
DISC INFORMATION and by 52h READ TRACK INFORMATION which reveil a CD-like
|
||||
structure of sessions and 1:n related tracks.
|
||||
|
||||
51h READ DISC INFORMATION Data Type 000b, fields Number of Sessions (Least
|
||||
Significant Byte) and Number of Sessions (Most Significant Byte) give the
|
||||
number of sessions. The last complete session number of an appendable disc
|
||||
is one less because there is an incomplete session at its end. libburn only
|
||||
records complete sessions in its TOC model.
|
||||
libburn uses Last Track in Last Session as a hint for the range of track
|
||||
numbers.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.22)
|
||||
|
||||
Next step ist to iterate from 1 up to the last track number and to obtain
|
||||
the according track info by 52h READ TRACK INFORMATION. Each track tells its
|
||||
Session Number (LSB at byte 2, MSB at 33), its Logical Track Start Address,
|
||||
its Logical Track Size, and much more which is not needed for a fake CD TOC.
|
||||
One may analyze the track info more finely but for this special purpose
|
||||
it is enough to discard the tracks which do not belong to complete sessions.
|
||||
(mmc5r03c.pdf 6.27)
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of each session libburn inserts fake leadout entries into its TOC
|
||||
model. Their start address is computed from the start and size of the last
|
||||
track of the session.
