Re: UPDATE!!!! VOBU length & number of sectors disagree

Hi Alexander,

Well, I've never submitted an Image on hard drive to a replicator. But I have had hundreds of hard drives submitted to me for testing with Eclipse, and transfer to DLT - 100% successful submission to manufacturing plants over 6 years, - with not one VOBU Length and number of Sector Disagree Error, or any other issue - none. Because, after re reading Ed's statement here for 'the hundredth time', I realize I've been doing things the correct way - testing with Eclipse before/while transferring to the carrier of my choice! :-).

The USB sticks I've received, all have worked well with Eclipse ImageAnalysis, even the Mac formatted ones, as I'm running MacDrive 6 on the Windows machine housing Eclipse. No problems. Your replicator won't be running MacDrive, so you'll need to make sure it's formatted with NTSF (Alex had some good pointers using hard drives for Image submission in another thread).

For sure, DVD Studio Pro will put out much fewer instances of the VOBU Length and number of sector disagrees errors if your replicator accepts hard drives, and doesn't run into issues mounting and reading the device (Though, Windows likes to go search for software to run USB sticks, I've noticed, and seems to eventually find it - i.e. the same software it loaded to run the USB hard drive a few days ago!).

Just as long as you're not using DVD-R, because then, DVD Studio Pro likes to put out tons of VOBU Length and number of sector disagree errors, for some reason :-)

Take care,

Trai
