DiscImageCreator: Wrong LEAD-OUT in .cue file with multisession cd-rom / PX-760A drive

Version Latest, 20220301

Describe the bug With my drive/pc it seems all multisession cd-roms get an invalid .cue file when dumped with DIC. DIC says it’s succesfully dumped and indeed all goes well, but the .cue / .bin files generated have file table problems when opened with IsoBuster or PowerIso. When dumped with ImgBurn, although it’s not readed in raw mode, the cue/bin are functional. It seems to be related with LEAD-OUT

This is the .cue file generated by DIC:

REM SESSION 01
FILE "TOVENARY (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM LEAD-OUT 01:30:00
REM SESSION 02
REM LEAD-IN 01:00:00
REM PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "TOVENARY (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

This is the .cue file generated by ImgBurn for the same cd-rom:

FILE "tovenarij.bin" BINARY
REM SESSION 01
    TRACK 01 AUDIO
      INDEX 01 00:00:00
  REM LEAD-OUT 03:24:40
REM SESSION 02
    TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
      INDEX 01 05:56:40

This is the DIC .cue editted to make it open succesfully again:

REM SESSION 01
FILE "TOVENARY (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  REM LEAD-OUT 03:24:40
REM SESSION 02
REM LEAD-IN 01:00:00
REM PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "TOVENARY (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

So when using the LEAD-OUT value from ImgBurn it all works again. I’m not very technical at this but I hope this report is useful to help improving DIC

Screenshots This is how it looks when opening with the original cue file from DIC (file table problems): ib_wrong

This is after fixing the LEAD-OUT manually to match imgburn’s cuefile: ib_cuefixed

I might also add that I (in IsoBuster) was the very first person ever to support multi-session CUE+ISO/IMG/BIN files and as such I set/created the standard … So … when I say it’s wrong … it’s wrong ! LOL
