Just to clarify, if your Matshita burner doesn't support bitsetting (I don't think any of them do) and you have a Hitachi drive (no firmware for it that ignores bitsetting), the discs will still burn and work fine?

Not tested that myself, but as soon as my app needs a testburn I'll risk a DL in my internal Matshiwhatever...

Just registered to say Thank You Very Much for this work !

Not sure about the matsushita burner either,
But from the X360 end, if you are Hitachi without booktype set to DVD-ROM it usually does not work.
It will work on a Samsung if your firmware is v3.1 and after.

Update

All the parts needed have been created, even the part for the determination of the correct rdisk (used the Device File Access Guide for Storage Devices (courtesy of Apple as a basis...)

Expect a working GUI frontend in a day or so. If milicoon or appleguru would like to test (or help otherwise (incorporating the existing zip in one nice installer ), please let me know..

Console output of a trial run of my program :

iBurn360 has exited with status 0.

A few remarks :
- the iPod rdisk stuff will be filtered out (it will currently list all ejectable media)
- future improvement will be that the mediatype (DL, mediacode ?) will also be shown

Things that can be set/done in the gui
- the actual image file (drag and drop from Finder)
- recording speed (default is 2)
- recorders (dropdownbox for selecting, refreshbutton to refresh contents of dropdownbox)
- automatic detection of needed patching (popup dialog to ask permission to patch)
- layer break (default is 1913760).. should never change, but hey.. better safe than sorry
- burn (duh, checking of valid image file and recorder is done prior to burning)

Progress is shown in a progress bar and the output from growisofs is shown in a scrollable textbox.

nice ...
hope i can test it soon

iDog, I would love to beta test for you on this.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

All i can say is a big WOW, when i look at these forums and specially this thread. You guys do amazing work and i want to thank you in andvance already

All i got is this C2D MBP, and i'd like to test out that iBurn360 very soon Feel free to contact me if you want me to test the beta msn/email: [email protected].

Anyways, i'll test the terminal way of burning today... i flashed my drive yesterday

Regards, Scorpz

Am rewriting it now using the DiscRecording framework. Much cleaner code (no C calls necessary) and more control over the drives and media (automatic detection of duallayer media, speeds, eject etc).

Appleguru will package my part as soon as I have got something decent. I'll post a link here for people who are interested in testing the gui once I have a version that works

[cyberdork33]

It's about time someone picked this up and did something with it. Now if we can just get something figured out to image the discs we could have a fully working OSX backup app. I messed with dd awhile back but didn't really get anywhere.

Oh, and appleguru, I was reading through the tutorial... Are you sure this will only work on Intel? I was under the assumption that it should be CPU independent. Does the code not compile on PPC?

Ok, version 0.1 is done. I've writtten a manual as well. The entire stuff weighs in at about 740 kbytes and I just burned a backup of Eragon without problems (just read the manual).

appleguru will package everything together, but for those of you who want to test the .app .. just give me a shout

btw. anyone got a good free hosting of my files ?

hosting is solved, ScorpioN^ has taken care of this (THANKS !). You can get the application and the manual at

http://scorpion.datr...60/iBurn360.zip

Be aware that this is only a version 0.1, so read the manual carefully.
Furthermore, you need the installer from appleguru to install growisofs and the mkbpatch jar.

[Bech100]

Will test this out at the weekend hopefully.

And if you need more hosting, just give me a shout   or even somewhere for a web page
