#1 Burning Software

I've finishing up our software and am adding some user selectable options and am not sure how to deal with the IsXA option in most of the burning commands(I've just been setting it to faqlse). I've read up on CD-XA(Mode2) and see there are three "forms". I've been unable to find a good description of Form 0(formless). Form 1 is basically a standard sector size(2048 bytes) with error correction and form 2 is a standard sector without error correction(ie 2352 bytes). I found this variable defined in the Starburn documentations,

m__UCHAR__MODE2Form

Can I use this to set the Form used when I set IsXA in a burn ing command?

Does this also effect the form used when writing standard ISO tracks?

No, you cannot. For data tracks you'll always get MODE2/Form1 (2048 bytes of user data inside 2352 bytes of raw sector data) and for MPEG tracks you'll always get MODE2/Form2 (2336 bytes of user data inside 2352 bytes of raw sector data). You cannot control this.

So how do I specify an MPEG track? Use a .dat file(ie fore VCD or SVCD) or do I just give a .mpeg file as the file to burn(like giving an .iso file).

You need to use special API. StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_(Super)VideoCD(Ex)(Ex) and we'll do rest. You don't need to set track modes manually.

Thats what I guessed. Thanks.

Good
