Imaging All Sessions?

[iameatingjam]

Well, I have a cd here and it has two sessions ( I think thats right ) one is audio and one is data. I don't need the audio part, I just want the data, but when I try to make a disk image it just makes the audio part. As in says in the bottom "only the first session will be copied". How am I doing this?

Sorry I can't offer more help. I'm not familiar with the Dreamcast discs. I'm not aware of any application that will duplicate a multi-session disc nor make an image file from anything but the first session. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist; I just don't know about it. Maybe freshburn has experience with the Dreamcast discs

As you've found the disc copy function only works with the disc's first session. What you need to do instead is drag the contents of the data session to the Toast Data window. Now you can make a disc image or burn a disc from that content.

I tried that, it just brought up the audio session again like before.

 

wait... the contents? not the volume itself? won't that like improperly format it?

 

Yes, doesn't work, can you point me in the direction of an app that can do this?

Thanks and by the way, single-session disks for Dreamcast do burn fine with toast.

No experience with Dreamcast discs but if they are the same idea as Playstation then you could try MultiTrack CD-ROM XA which you can get to by turning on "Legacy Formats" in Toast's Prefs. I do remember that when copying PS discs I had to rip them in an old OS9 app first to handle the protection etc.

My understanding is you have an Enhanced audio CD that includes one session that is an audio CD and another session that has data. Typically the data is a music video.

 

When you say that copying the files from the second session to the Toast Data window doesn't work, what actually happens? Did you use the Data window or are you still in the Copy window? There is no reason to be concerned with the formatting because it likely is ISO 9660 on the CD. You can choose either Mac & PC or ISO 9660 to get the same format.

Tis le Dreamcast format disk and the audio is for booting, which I don't need although toasting both sessions to an image would be even better. Burning the files with "data" doesn't format it right, iso doesn't work and I'm pretty sure that was my best bet.

Really? I just burn them straight from toast with no modification and they work fine.
