chris z Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 (edited) you can make a multi-session CD with K3b. when you go to burn the disc (data, music, mixed media, whatever) you will be given a dialogue box to fine tune/change settings before burning. among them, there settings for finalize (or close the CD after burn), multi-session, continue multi-session. choose the appropriate option before you burn. i think the reason you're having trouble is because Nero uses a different method to encode discs. not really sure, but i don't think you could start a multi-session CD with any one burner app, then continue it on another, whether it be in Windows or Linux. like, i don't think you could start multi-session a CD on Nero & continue you it with Roxio (or vice versa). since Linux CD burner apps are just front ends for cdrecord, you may be able to do it in Linux, but i have never tried. somebody correct me if i'm wrong. as for XCDRoast, it's a very nice app. not as GUI friendly as K3b & doesn't have all the features (no drag & drop, pretty icons, multi panel layout) but it works quite nicely. you need to run it as root the first time, so you can activate non-root mode, set it up, & add user burning priveledges. XCDRoast is an X app, hence the eye candy limitations. to run it as root the first time, just open a terminal, su to root, then type xcdroast (hit enter). give it a whirl & see what you think.

corticalhomunculus Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Like a lot of people I ditched my floppy a long time ago so I count on being able to swap multisession cd-r discs around. I've never had any problems using multisession discs between Nero and Roxio, but cdrecord doesn't seem to be cross-compatible...If anyone knows of a burner program for kde that CAN read and write to nero/roxio multisessions please spread the word. I have'nt tried it in the other direction (creating the multisession structure with k3b) but I imagine the effect would be the same. As it stands I just resort to booting into windows to use Nero...I've been using Mandrake 10.1 for two weeks now, kind of makes me sad to run into something I actually need to touch Lilo for.

tl017 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi all, with k3b I was´nt able to continue a multisession CD I started with it (Mandrake 10.1)! With xcdroast I continued multisessions started with xcdroast or with Nero under Windows, it does´nt matter. tl017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 It's a k3b bug in the version that comes with MDK 10.1. Solved in the newer k3b version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corticalhomunculus Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 cool cool, I had assumed it was an issue with cdrecord not the frontend. I'll give an upgrade a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
