E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BECOMING_READY after WriteMedia in DAO mode

Question

I'm writing a CD in DAO mode. I do every preparings which are described as needed, all result in S_OK. Then I start writing with WriteMedia(). It writes Lead-In, the sectors are counting up, then it writes Lead-Out, all these things are reported through the callback interface. Then WriteMedia() returns with the error E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BECOMING_READY. Is that funny? I can imagine that this error occurs before starting to write not after.

Where is the problem. Please help.

Thanks, Richard

Answer 1

Is there nobody at Microsoft who can say why this error appears AFTER writing lead-out? Thanks for helping! Richard

Answer 2

This is an artifact of the device command set behavior. It is a retriable error. The device uses it as a mean to say "I'm busy, come back later".
