I have trouble with new version of foo_burninate
CD burning initialization failed: Неопознанная ошибка  (0x80004005)

cool component, really. Is there any chance to add

- option to burn a data disc
- getting info about total play time (or total file size) in the dialog

?

Does anyone know if this component will burn CD-TEXT audio CD's?

http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download#components (http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download#components)

Adds support for burning audio CDs from any of supported audio formats, through context menu commands.
Version 3.0 highlights: No longer requires Nero to be installed. CD-TEXT support is currently missing.

Hi Shakey clicked on the link you suppllied takes me to the web page that I mentioned but I still dont know on that page what to downlod there are numerous options.

For Windows XP I downloaded the following link (but haven't tested it yet).

Do you know what language you speak?
Do you know what version of windows you are running?

If you know those two pieces of information and are able to validate your windows install, this shouldn't be a problem.

I apologize, I didn't read the release notes first. Now that I have it installed, I like the interface. It's very simple and straightforward. If CD-TEXT support is added it would be perfect for my needs.

So, I downloaded and installed the IMAPI thing, and I still get the "CD burning initialization failed: Unspecified error  (0x80004005)" message.

I'm running Windows XP Professional System Pack 3, and I grabbed the XP files in question.

Also running Windows XP Professional System Pack 3, IMAPI update installed and I get the same error as DocBeard.

If you're getting the Unspecified error (0x80004005) error, try disabling any virtual drives you have before burning.
This will be worked around with the next update of the component.

Disabling devices helped, thank you. When the new version will be released, I don't need exact date, but in a month, two months...?

Would shared folders on a home network constitute virtual drives in this case? I can't think of anything else on my system that would fit that specification. I'll give it a try when I get home though. Thanks!

Maybe if they are mounted as drives.

Ivan

Hmmm. They are not. The only things I have other than my hard drive and my DVD drive that show up as actual drives are flash card readers. And disabling them had no effect. Oh well. I'll wait on the next release.

Great plugin. However, is it just me being stupid, or isn't it possible to change the write speed? I usually write audio CDs in 1x or 2x, so that would be a welcome feature. Also, the possibility for "Disc At Once" writing would be lovely.

Also, the possibility for "Disc At Once" writing would be lovely.

Since it burns gapless playback formats gaplessly, I'm pretty sure it has to be using disc-at-once.

Thank you very much!! It really works! Cool!

But I have new error when clicking on "OK" button in plugin:
Audio CD burning process failed: Unknown error code (0xC0AA0208)

Hi, my regards to all the members of the forum.

I've got a similar problem: I updated foobar to the new v.0968.
I don't have Nero in my computer, so as I read that this new version can burn a cd without Nero I say let's try, but when I try to write a cd I've got this message:

CD burning initialization failed: No recording devices found

I had installed too the microsoft IMAPI thing and I still having the issue.

Regards.

I get the same: Audio CD burning process failed: Unknown error code (0xC0AA0208)

No matter the IMAPI update files are installed.  Given the absence of support response to these posts I suspect there is no fix available at this time.

Where can I download the old version of foo_burninate.dll (2.0.1)? I desperately need to burn a CD and I have the same error (0xC0AA0208). Disabling virtual drives didn't help.

Thanks a lot!

Could you guys tell us the make and model of your CD-R drive?

It's a NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A. Not the newest model, I know...

You could mention which OS you use and the names of any virtual drives or similar tools you have installed. Something is preventing Microsoft's IMAPI from functioning properly and without more details it's not very easy to help you.

hi,

work fine with SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW 252S running XP home sp3 (desktop)

thank you for your work

I’m trying to burn Audio CD on Foobar (Windows Vista 6.0 with Imapi update) and have this information: Audio CD burning process failed: Audio track decoding failure: CD burning format mismatch. Please Help! Thanks in advance.

if it could help : I have Nero on desktop and roxio on laptop

I'm running XP Professional SP3 on a desktop. DAEMON Tools Lite 4.30.1 is managing my virtual drives (disabling doesn't help). I found an old version of foo_burninate on my last system backup. So, it's not urgent anymore but it still doesn't work for me.

Thanks!

Thank you very kindly for your time.  I love Foobar and adding CD Writer would be fantastic.

Great plugin. However, is it just me being stupid, or isn't it possible to change the write speed?

Same problem here, where's the write speed???
This is one of the most basic functions and must be very easy to implement. And if I remember correctly it was there in older versions...?!

All I would like is to be able to compile a playlist and to burn it so that it has replay gain and the sound is compressed so that when you playback the files they sound like you would hear on the radio.  Not much to ask is it.....I have tried also to download the burner without any luck so I hope someone on here will be able to make this possible. I even tried removing Foobar then reinstalling the player which you would think would have all the new features automatically on there but no

At least you can use the converter function to apply replaygain to the data and output to a file which can then be burned on a separate software such as dbpoweramp.  I'm not sure the result of applying replaygain is accurately called compression but it is helpful for volume considerations from track to track.

My laptop drive is a DVD burner also and as I posted here Foobar Audio Cd Writer does not work.  I do not have any virtual drives.  It does appear that most if not all examples of failure posted here involve XP Professional with SP3.

Yeah, mine's a DVD burner as well, and I can't burn (using Windows XP Professional SP3, no virtual drives). I'm not really sure what the specific brand is, as it's not really labeled and the system info for it provided when I look in Everest and similar utilities is not terribly verbose.

I'm getting the following error using Vista Ultimate SP1 x64:

CD burning initialization failed: Unknown error code (0xC0AA020C)

I have a DVD Burner, so Foo_burninator will not work for me, but ImgBurn works, and I can use that to burn iso's.  What would it take to add the ability to write a disc to iso in foo_burninate?

can we do something to help solve issue (0xC0AA0208) ?
or just wait ??
In my opinion it is the most useful plugin ever written for foobar
it's a pity  I can't use it with my dvd burner

thanks

same problem. Everytime I hit Write Audio CD I get directed to Microsoft supprt page
Win XP SP2

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952011 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952011)


I want to download from Microsoft even less than I want to download from Nero

Why?

From IMAPI documentation:

0xC0AA020C - The drive does not support the GET CONFIGURATION command.
0xC0AA0208 - The drive reported that the combination of parameters provided in the mode page for a MODE SELECT command were not supported.

Don't know about the 20C error, but the 208 one can be caused by SATA drivers, especially if it's nVidia, but some versions of Intel drivers cause this too (especially in AHCI mode). If this is your case, try to install the default Microsoft IDE driver on the controller you have the burner connected to.

A happy note here:  the new Burninate works fine for me, using Win7 RC 32 bit and a SATA DVD burner no less.  Didn't need to download anything else.  Program even successfully erased my CDRW before burning too.  Gapless mp3 worked fine; that was my test.

Would be nice to be able to control write speed but not that critical as I probably will only use this once in a while.  Overall a nice addition for my purposes and glad Nero is not required.

Why?

uhhhh, because I don't trust them?? Even more than I don't trust Nero?

Luckily, still have my Nero disc, so if I need that one file to use the old burniate (thank goodness I backed up the old version), I can probably find it there

^ You do realize that your OS is made by microsoft?

I just downloaded this new version and tried it on my Windows 7 machine and I get Audio CD burning process failed: Unknown error code (0xC0AA0208) everytime...

My drive is an NEC ND-3550A.

Any suggestions?

have you the updated Image Mastering API from MS?

What version of foo_burninate leads to this error message?

The actual version of foo_burninate is v3.0.1 and is compatible with foobar2000 0.9.6 and newer.

It may be useful to update your foobar to v0.9.6.9 or to search an older foo_burninate which works with foobar2000 0.9.4.3

Install foobar2000 v0.9.6.9
Put in folder "Components" foo_burninate.dll,restart foobar ok. without error.
Next insert in drive CD-RW disc. In foobar chosen track and click right buttom "Write Audio CD"

my error code 0xC0AA0208 means "The drive reported that the combination of parameters provided in the mode page for a MODE SELECT command were not supported."

I guess the NEC hardware doesn't support some parameter combination being used? I guess that is pretty vague so probably hard to troubleshoot if you don't have the drive. Has Peter seen this thread?

Well or just the first to know that this is some driver brokenness and it can't be helped.

several people  are having problems with this plugin ,has anyone been able to burn with this without getting the error message? (burn failed)

*threads merged*

Burns fine here, and for most people, apparently. Every CD burner on the alpha testers' machines work without problems. Hence Yirkha's call for someone who has this problem to volunteer some time.

Please don't start new topics when another covering the same subject already exists.

Hello all. I too would like to help in getting this fixed. My specs are:
  XP Pro w/SP3
  IMAPI installed
  Burners: (Lite-On) iHAP322 9 & Memorex DVD16+/-DL4RWnD2 SCSI CdRom Device (both DVD burners)
  Error: Audio CD burning process failed: IMAPIv2 libraries not installed properly (0x80040154)

Interestingly, this error is not the very first thing that "goes wrong".  That would be the fact that only the Lite-On shows up in the device poplist in the Burn Audio CD dialog window.

I know nothing about IRC, but I'd be happy to learn if that's what's required. I really want foobar2000 to be my one-stop jukebox solution. It's almost there. It can play all my formats and load my iPod. All it's gotta do now is burn CDs for me.

Thanks,
Larry

I am also having problems with this. I love this plugin and hope it gets fixed soon. If I can be of any help I have a NEC ND-3500AG dvd drive and would be willing to help test any fixes or anything.

no hope  I think 

i could even live just being able to use the old plugin that required nero. i didn't keep a back up of it though. there a chance someone could post the old plugin that required nero in the interim?

That's an excellent idea. Can we get the old DLL back? Surely somebody must have a copy of it around somewhere.

And another thanks! Works like a champ!

thanks for the old version. am going to download the new free version of nero and see if the plugin works with it.

edit: doesn't seem to work with nero 9 free. probably because it doesn't have the full nero burning rom part. oh well. guess i will have to install nero 6 again, even though it doesn't work right on windows 7. at least it lets me use the plugin correctly.

In case anyone else is thinking of going to the channel to ask about this custom debug build, I went there and asked and was told that somebody has already tried it and Peter knows the info it reports. So as of now there is nothing else we can do to help.

I am getting "Audio CD burning process failed: Device is becoming ready (0xC0AA0205)" each time i try to burn a CD.
Only one time though for each CD and if i try to burn it again it will work. So it's more an annoyance than a real problem.
It doesn't seem to matter how long the CDR is in the drive (since that is what the error code suggests). Tried it right after inserting the CDR and also after waiting for a while with the same result.

Well I just downloaded the latest version of Foobar and the identical error arises when attempting to burn a CD.

I recently added an HP DVD1170d external burner to my Windows XP Professional with service pack 3 update on HP DV5167D Notebook.  I downloaded Foobar Version 1.0 Beta 6 and found that CDwriter successfully burned ultra speed 16x-24x cd-rw to the HPDVD1170d.  I'm exceedingly grateful to be able to burn through Foobar. 

CDwriter still does not burn to my internal DVD burner (TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532M) and so I assume an incompatibility issue exists and I care not to pursue a cure. 

If my memory serves me well, I had tried to burn on my new HP DVD1170d and failed prior to downloading Foobar version 1.0 beta 6.  I got the same error as with the internal DVD burner. 

Thank you to all at Foobar for their wonderful product.

I'm on Windows 7 now and get the 0xC0AA0208 error trying to burn with my NEC OEM 2500A dvd burner.

I'd love to volunteer my time as a tester--IMO this is a crucial feature of foobar2000 so it's important to make it work, no?

Just reporting on the solution I found when I had the 0xC0AA0208 error.

On Win7 with a LG GH22NS50, it turned out that the original firmware for the drive didn't support windows 7 properly. Lucky for me there was a firmware update that added "windows 7 support."

So check, but I don't advise to update your firmware unless it specifically states that it fixes the problem as it could brick your drive if the update fails.

foo_burninate worked perfectly on this device with Vista SP2, either with the earlier version (which required Nero 6) or the later standalone version.

Just switched to old version of foo_burniate, and DVD burner works fine. No more error message.

Seems like the issue is the new version of foo_burniate

Also, for Windows 7, make sure you "unblock" the zip file before installing it.

Hello, I've installed last Foobar version recently on Win7 64bit and got the 0xC0AA0202 ("there is no media in the device") problem when burning CD. Strange enough, cause the CD "IS" in the drive and apparently it have some record on it - but it doesn't work neither. I googled and found this (Microsoft) (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2461096) article. I've got no programming skills so I'm not able to understand if it have something to do with the subject discused here. Just asking.
Oh, and a shy question: is there any recent development of foo_burninate to solve this issue? I really miss this plugin and I don't want to use the older version, as I want to avoid installing Nero (free or not) to my PC.
Thanks in advance for any answer!

so.... it's September 2011. Long time to wait for a fix.

old version of foo_burniate (v2.0.1) works, thanks for posting that.

However, it is not the perfect solution for me, as it would be great to have the newest version working (especially since i want this to work on a portable installation of foobar on an external USB - not all (not any?) computers it will be used on can be guaranteed to have Nero installed).

My specs:

HARDWARE
Laptop: SONY Vaio VPCX128LG, no optical drive
Optical drive: SONY DVD RW DRX-S70U (external via USB)

SOFTWARE
OS: Windows 7 Pro 32bit (genuine)
Foobar: 1.1.8 (portable installation on external USB drive)
Audio CD Writer (foo_burninate): 3.0.3

Error on selecting "Write Audio CD..."
"CD burning initialization failed: Unknown error code (0xC0AA020C)"
- no effect disabling virtual drives
- no need to install IMAPI, as I am running Windows 7

Another one.

My setup:

Foobar v1.1.8
foo_burninate 3.0.3
Windows 7 x64 SP1
NEC DVD+-RW ND-3450A

STRs:
Add desired MP3 files to Playlist View panel
Select all
Right click | Convert | Write Audio CD... |

ReplayGain - unchecked
DSP Processing - unchecked
Dither - unchecked
Burn Gaplessly - unchecked or checked

Click OK

Returns error message:
Audio CD burning process failed: Unsupported recorder mode (0xC0AA0208)

Happens on NEC firmware 1.01 and 1.04, with and without virtual drives disabled (DaemonTools Lite 4.35.6.0091)

Tried it with the earlier version of foo_burninate that does not require Nero, same.

Can manually recreate playlists as .cue files and burn using ImgBurn, but, ugh.  Would love to see a fix, please advise if I can help.

Update: dug out an old LITE-ON LTR-40125S CD burner (no DVD capability) and it works fine, same media, etc.  Looks like it's the NEC that is the problem, which was strongly hinted at upthread.  I do seem to recall getting it for really cheap at the time...

In case it's of help: I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread -

In foobar2000, when selecting Right-click/Convert/Write to CD, I was getting the error:
[blockquote]CD burning initialization failed: No recording devices found[/blockquote]
I was not running foobar2000 with admin privileges. When run with admin privileges, foobar2000 found my DVD drive and went on to successfully create an audio CD.

Windows XP SP3.
foobar2000 v1.2.9
foo_burninate.fb2k-component installed.
Microsoft Windows Feature Pack For Storage 1.0 installed.
