For those for whom Helios is not working, which versions of BeOS are you using? As much detail as possible on your setup will help :)
Seeing as there is still interest in the tool (I had thought not when I last posted - sorry!), I will make good on my (year old!) promise to get back to maintaining the app, *if* I am able to get the right versions running on my current machines...

I downgraded, but am having the same issue.
I did find commands for CDRecord and that works great, just not Helios itself.

I have tried this on various computers and various CD/DVD burners and have never seen it work. I've read the docs and played with all the settings, but to no avail.
It also seems that the author has jumped ship, so am I at a loss here? Is there an alternative, or does someone know where to get the commands for cdrecord?
Thankx!

hi,
i don't like to do all with command line, i let this for linux users. An interesting part of beos that users can use OS an Application without command line etc...
thx for explain, but lot of users want Gui-tool !
And Helios IS one of this tool BeOS users wants !

convert the time into MB avail:
The amount of information that can be written is determined by the disc’s recording capacity as well as the physical and logical formats used.
Each of the five main CD physical formats devotes a different amount of space to user data (audio = 2,352 bytes/block, CD-ROM Mode 1 = 2,048 bytes/block, CD-ROM Mode 2 = 2,336/bytes/block, XA Form 1 = 2,048 bytes/block, XA Form 2 = 2,324 bytes/block). For any given data format disc capacity can be calculated by multiplying the appropriate user data area size by the CD data transfer rate of 75 blocks per second by 60 seconds by the minute size of disc. For example, a 80 minute disc written in CD-ROM Mode 1 format: user data area of 2048 bytes/block x 75 blocks/second = 153,600 bytes/second x 60 seconds = 9,216,000 bytes/minute x 80 minutes = 737,280,000 bytes.
2048x75x60=9216000
Ans x [79+(59/60)] = Ans x 79.98333333
737126399.96928 bytes into MB= 702.97852 total free space to write on disk.

Hi all, leonifan back here after a very LONG break ;-)
These links possibly refer to my old webspace - and that was well and truly screwed up by the hosting company over a year ago.
If there is enough interest, I will transfer any files I still have to my newest webspace - and maybe, just maybe... return to maintaining these tools :-)
Thanks
Mark

I've tried this with 3 burners 2 old 4x's one new DVD burner.
None work. Tried all IDE ports (i got 4 of them) no go.
Installed CDRTOOLS but of course, tried all possible settings in Helios, what gives? I know my burners support my brand of CD-rs.

You know, we could really cut down on the S/N ratio if you'd test thtese things first rather than just posting things saying stuff doesn't work without some sort of attempt at figuring it out. Posting saying it doesn't work without any type of info helps noone. Then posting again saying it's not the apps fault... Slow down.

Looking again, it is enough for me to avoid that timeout message by just going in and ticking or unticking the Show All Devices option. It would be great if it did whatever the work behind that is on startup, each time.
This is using the Helios that is bundled with Zeta Neo: '1.71b Zeta'

I was having that trouble too, but find that if I go into settings -> devices, uncheck and recheck the 'Show all devices' then reselect the reader and writer drives then it works properly.
Not sure what the problem is, but it's only a minor irritation to do this each time. If there's anything I can do to help pin down the problem, I'd be happy to.
Thanks to the authors for all their hard work on this app. I hope we'll see DVD support at some point.
(Zeta Neo+SP, Adaptec SCSI card, some Yamaha CDR/RW 6/4/16 burner. I can figure out which card and drive more precisely if that would help).

Before you burn somthing, try to open the log-windows, which will show you what's really up.
'cause Helios is only a nice frontend for the cdrtools and so they will hang your sys up.

Yes, I have unfortunately left Helios maintenance. However, Maurice is taking back the project, so it is not all bad news.
I'm sorry about this though (and those people who donated hardware, I will return / pass it on to Maurice at your discretion - thanks for all your help).
Maybe I will return to BeOS in the future - but more urgent circumstances have forced me to cut back on many things that I do currently - and this is one of those things that simply could not be sustained at this time.
Once again, a big thank you to all those people who helped out on this project - and good luck for the future.
Best regards
Mark

@ljr:
Thanks! My sister is looking after a parcel for me which I was not here to collect, that is probably it. I was wondering what I had ordered ;-D
I am extremely grateful for this - I will use it to perfect the SCSI side of Helios, and hopefully get the Zeta Neo speed issues circumvented for those people who cannot currently use the IDE Replacement driver.
You're a hero :-)

@Cale:
Great news about the success you've had! Thanks for that feedback - at least it seems to imply that it might be a very specific hardware issue.
As for DVD, though, unless you have modified cdrtools yourself, then DVD currently will not work :-(
This is a projected change for the future though (and it is being currently worked on by "Vader" also), so (hopefully) no need to despair!
Thanks

I've been running a new Liteon DVD+/-RW 8x drive here for about a week with Helios. So far it's worked like a charm with CD R & RWs. I'll try it out with the DVD types in the next day or so and let you know how it goes.
