#1 Burning Software

hi,

I am a newbie, I am really interesting in starburn SDK.
can you tell me, what I must to learn and to do for creating a multisession writing software base on delphi.

The purpose that I am going to use Starburn SDK is to create my final project (thesis), not for commercial use. Right now I am studying IT at indonesia.

if you dont mind, can you give me an answer like a tutorial, what step that I must do, in order to understand this SDK.

a sample will be very nice

thank you.

Hi,



Download StarBurn SDK from http://www.rocketdivision.com/download_ ... n_sdk.html
It contains the samples.
See TrackAtOnceFromTree - to burn one data session. If you need to import previous session see TrackAtOnceFromTreeWithImport.
This samples allow you to create multisession discs.

Bye.

I found out, that this sample (trackatoncefromtree) can only add one folder with all its files and subfolders. can you explain to me which part of this sample that I must change so then I can add more than one folder.

example:
trackatoncefromtree.exe c:\data d:\data c:\burn\bernard.doc 0
(three first parameters above is all data that I must burn in one session)

thanks....

Hi,



Call StarBurn_ISO9660JolietFileTree_Add to add the files and folders.
In our sample it's called only once for one folder. You may call it twice or more.

Bye

I tried to burn data using your trackatoncefromtree sample. I find nothing when I try to read it. then I tried using close session sample, but still nothing. can you tell me why? and how to use your sample.
thank you

We don't have any samples which adds more then one folder. But you can create your own sample wich will adda lot of folders.

Did you try burning in test mode? What actually you did? Command line parameters, console output, log files, just *ANYTHING* except "I tried your software and it does not work for me". This is ovbiously not enough to help you. With all our need to do this

ok. first of all, I want to thank you for your help, I really appreciate what you have done for me, especially I have not buy license yet (right now using evaluation type).

My purpose I want to make a software that support multisession, from before you tell me that I can use trackatoncefromtree sample for multisession, so I tried, this is the step:

1. I compile the trackatoncefromtree sample using delphi 7
2. I prepare some file and subfolder at C:\DATA
3. I am using finddevice sample to find out that my device at address 0 0 0 0
4. then "trackatoncefromtree.exe 0 0 0 0 c:\data 0"
5. after the process done, I check the disk, and I can see the different color on the disk that meaning there is data on disk.
6. I insert that disk on my device, but there is no data on it, its like blank CD.

can you tell me what shall I do?
thank you very much for your help.

Ops, We have found the error in our sample. It does not close the session.
To close the session on current disc - use CloseSession sample.

To close session for any new discs use the following command line:
"trackatoncefromtree.exe 0 0 0 0 c:\data 0 1"
last parameter was missing. It means to close the session.

Thanks for bug report.

I have tried using your command to burn a blank disc,
'trackatoncefromtree.exe 0 0 0 0 c:\data 0 1'
and its still can not be read.

after that, using same disc, I am using closesession sample
'closesession.exe 0 0 0 0'
and its still like a blank cd.

right now I am using version 4.1.0, but I am going to download the latest version.

can you give me some advice?

Please, send me your log file from DebugView (http://www.sysinternals.com/) with debug version of StarBurn.dll?

...and I'd grab new version for now

I have tried 4.7.3, and I found a lot of problem.

fortunately, I found the differences between 4.1.0 and 4.7.3 is
starburn_upstart() and starburn_downshut(),
I think, its better if you give some note about changes in every version, so your user dont confused.

after I am using version 4.7.3, I found that if my delphi does not finish all source code until starburn_downshut() it will slower and slower until it like freeze.

I have tried trackatoncefromtree.exe sample from 4.7.3 and it works well. but the volume label and folder name was wrong.
'trackatonefromtree.exe 0 0 0 0 c:\data 0 1'
after process
volume label = 'Volume N1'
folder name = 23_11_.......... (today date, not 'data')

can you tell me, how to set the volume label and whats wrong with folder name?

can you tell me, what is the different when I am using trackatoncefromtree sample or UDF sample on my multisessional software?

thank you.

maybe it is out of topic, but I am just curious, pleas forgive me if I was wrong.

I was noticed that probably your forum have been infected by a virus, after I opened this forum, my antivirus give me a warning about strange file *.dll at c:\windows\system32.

and if I open a new window, it will open a page like a commercial search engine.

I experienced this on two different computer.

once again, I am sorry if I was wrong.
thank you.

Yes, you are right.



Can you tell me what are you calling to get such result?



Change the following call to get the volume label you want:


To get original folder name pass NULL instead of l__CHAR__NewRootName.
