BurnDVDX2 support issues.

[wtg]

It took me a while to find nerocmd since it wasn't located anywhere in the new Nero installation directory. Turns out the install puts files in two directories, C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero8 and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Lib, and it's the lib directory that contains nerocmd.exe.

Of course it's not mentioned in the docs or help files or Nero's FAQs online. Thank goodness for google.

I don't think they really support nerocmd. It's nice that it exists though.

Stripping commercials may not work correctly depending on your regional settings. The edl file that is created for some countries will have commas and not decimal points and mencoder requires decimal.

I'm still not having any luck with Nero 8. The command runs but exits with the message "Invalid -- parameter". Ok, so that doesn't seem to hard to figure out, right? Wrong!

I went through every single --parameter in the temp file and compared it to everyone output in the command line help that nerocmd gives. All exist though the --detect_non_empty_cdrw and --force_erase_cdrw commands are listed as --detect_non_empty_disc and --force_erase_disc. Even so I replaced those options with "disc" instead of "cdrw" and no dice. It continues to fail with the "invalid -- parameter" message.

I've posted the nerocmd.exe syntax help for anyone that's interested, but everything looks fine except for the minor issue I mentioned. I'm trying imgburn next.

Yeah it sounds like nero8 is not compatible with the command file that I create. You can just pull the one line from builddvd.cmd and experiment with what is causing the invalid parameter. Run it from the cmd prompt.
I don't have nero8 so I can't help you there.
If you can figure out how to get it to fly, I'll build it in.

Also originally I had problems with nerocmd because the drive was d not d: That caused invalid parameter. You can take off the no_user_intervention and see if it gives you any additional info.

What happens if you burn an iso? Does that work?

I tried running without the no_user_intervention parameter but it never gave me any helpful information. I wish it would just echo the invalid parameter that it doesn't like, but no. Very frustrating given the number of parameters on the command line, and even more so since according to the syntax help it echos, they're all valid.

I also tried using Nero to burn an iso, but I got the same error. Everything is working fine with imgburn, but no dice with Nero 8.

Try taking the drivename and no_user_intervention params out. Also pull the two you mentioned that were incompatible and run from the command line. It should prompt for the output file name

Something like this

Code:

--write --real  --iso "GBPVRDVD"  --create_udf_fs --iso-no-joliet  --dvdvideo_cmpt  --dvd --recursive "c:\temp\burndvd\VIDEO_TS" --dvdvideo_realloc --drivename "Image Recorder"

I noticed that there might be a change in the iso-no-joliet
I think it uses iso_no_joliet now.
