that you will not be able to write SVCDs on Pioneer drives.

(Harrumph)

Users ! You might not be able to write SVCDs on Pioneer drives !

(Good so ?)


Users, please also note:

I have no idea how to write SVCD on any drive.

The usual programs to generate the info create multiple files and a cuefile (see the cdrecord man page). Real cdrecord uses this cuefile to write the SVCD media, the last (years ago) time I tried to do that with wodim it seemed to work but the media wouldn't play. This format is still (marginally) useful for small video where the quality of VCD is unacceptable and the cost between CD and DVD blanks matters.

libburn does Mode 1 (-data) and Audio tracks.
To mix them on the same media will possibly not
work in your old CD player in the living room.
If the player is actually a little computer then
this ban on mixing will not be an issue.

There are rumors that one would need Mode 2
for multi-session CDs. The only real hint for
this are statements in ECMA-168 which have no
influence on CD or on ISO 9660 (ECMA-119).
The rumored prescription cannot apply to Audio
as this is mutually exclusive with Mode 2.
The rumored prescription cannot be essential
with computer attached CD-ROM drives as i have
a lot of experience with multi-session Mode 1
CDs meanwhile.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
