Hello,

i made a project on scenarist standart content HD & i have to put it on DLT. The problem is that scenarist does not see my DLT drive (quantum DLT 4000 + adaptec 2940).
A prehistoric version of scenarist i used before sees it, and maestro also. I installed the lastest drivers but it does not change.
As i really need to put this project on 2 DLTs, is there a way to "transform" the layer file info from scenarist (i don't know which one it is, BTW) to make it work with maestro where i could output to DLT, or is there a tool i can use to split into 2 .img the DVD9 i can make with scenarist ? Or another solution ?
I understand this is not "truly" a question of HD authoring but because i'm using standart content HD i though it might be the best place to ask...

Another question BTW, do you know wich DLT drives are supported by standart content HD ? I can't find this info on the sonic site.

many thanks to all of you :)

DLT4000 drives writes max 20 GB (without compression) so could probably be unsupported due to the fact that Blu-Ray is 25 GB per layer (even if Scenarist HD is for HD-DVD could be that the DLT drivers are the same as the Scenarist for Blue-Ray). Probably DLT8000 and VS-80 drives are supported (not sure, it's my idea).
I cannot think that the layer info from Scenarist and DVDMaestro could be "shared". You could use the Scenarist PlantDirect feature to output the project onto 2 IMGs (1 image per layer in 2 separate folders) and write each image on a DVD5 (DVD-R) in a DDP format. About all the replication facilities supports the replication of a DVD-9 through the use of 2 DVD5 in DDP 2.0 format... it's even inexpensive). My unique dubt is if Scenarist support the output of HD content onto 2 DVD-R if the project is less than 8.5 GB

many thanks, i'll try this.

EDIT

OK, so i made a few trys.

After outputting to disc image, i have the following files :
discinfo.ifo, some log files, fslist.lst (it seems to be the layer file, it is a binary one which looks similar to the maestro one), and the image itself (discimage.iso)
I'll try later to use the fslist.lst with maestro but as far as i remember it did not worked.

After outputting to plantdirect (plantdirect 3), i have the following files :control0 & control1.dat, diskinfo.xml which containt the interesting following code :

<NumberLayers>2</NumberLayers>
<LayerType>PTP</LayerType>
- <Layer Type="0">
<StartAddress>0</StartAddress>
<Length>14624</Length>
</Layer>
- <Layer Type="1">
<StartAddress>14624</StartAddress>
<Length>72864</Length>
</Layer>

and the image itself, image.dat

After outputting to plantdirect (CMF 2), i have 2 directories (layer0 & layer1)
In both directories i have the same diskinfo.xml.
In layer0 directory i have a image of the layer 0, which is great, but in the layer1 directory i have the image of the whole disc, not the image of layer1.

Kinda surprising :confused:
Is this a(nother) bug ?

Is there an app that can use the file diskinfo.xml burn the image image.dat on 2 dvd5, or something to split the whole image ?
Which program burn .dat BTW ?

many thanks ! :D
