Stopping Eject when finished

joshieca

Is there a way to stop or remove the EJECT "feature" that pops up once the DVD has been burned?

I saw in another post that someone said it was removed, but on my version; 2.7.1.1 once the DVD has been burned it displays a message that gives you the total time it took and then a button to EJECT the freshly burned disc. If you just click on the "X" in the corner it still ejects the disc.

Thanks.....Josh

CloneDVD does always eject (for good reasons), except if you "shutdown when finished".

It would be nice to have the ability to turn that function off (the eject when done function)....I will (perhaps others also) always "push" the DVD back into the computer to check to make sure the "copy" took.

Thanks.

Yes, but it is important that an eject has happened before. Otherwise the media was changed "silently" without your computer (Windows, AnyDVD, etc.) knowing.

Anybody know what this means? I always scan after I burn, and it's annoying that CloneDVD ejects every time. If there's a good reason, though, I won't care so much.

when you put the disc in, it is blank.

when the burn finishes, it is an entirely different disc.

if you don't eject then re-load the disc ther'es a good chance windows won't see the disc.

as was already stated it would be like changing the disc without telling windows.

Okay, but what are the consequences of not ejecting it? Do you mean the scanning program can't see that the disc isn't still empty? It just surprises me that Windows can't find out that the disc has been changed without ejecting it.

have you ever played a burned disc on a ps2 and had to do the whole "switch while it's not looking" type of thing? it's the same concept.

with a ps2, you modify the cover so you can change the disc without the console "knowing" (ie ejecting and reloading)

it's likely that windows could handle it fine, but it's equally likely that a windows system will blow itself up if you look at it wrong.

on a program like clonedvd that's essentially geared toward beginners, it's better to not have too many options that *might* cause problems.

it's one of those things where you might be fine, or you might find that windows can't read the disc. why not err on the safe side.

I've also heard that even for programs that don't require an eject that you should always eject and reload a disc before scanning. I have no idea why and don't remember where I read that (it was long ago), but I've always stuck by it, and I imagine that's why CloneDVD doesn't give you the option not to.
