#1 Burning Software

List of changes since last release:

- Finished StarPort and StarWind integration in StarBurn SDK. StarBurn_StarPort_DeviceAddRemote(...), StarBurn_StarPort_GetDeviceLetter(...), StarBurn_StarPort_GetVersion(...), StarBurn_StarPort_GetDeviceInformation(...) API calls added.

- Finished MFC, Delphi and CBuilder GUI samples that were planned originally. Plan to develop new series of samples that is lightweight and more easy to understand.

- Added VB.NET samples.

- Added C# DataBurner OCX sample.

- Added StarPort GUI sample to demonstrate the usage of built-in network features.

- Added Java StarBurn wrapper and a collection of Java samples.

- StarBurn_ISO9660JolietFileTree_ImportFile(...) API call added to import ISO9660 or Joliet file system image file into the file tree.

- StarBurn_GetVolumeIDs(...) API call added.

- StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetNumberOfSystemDescriptors(...) API call added. Now we can get number of system descriptors from file system structures stream. Track-At-Once burning changed appropriately to store not fixed (4) but rather float number of system descriptors we'll be getting with the call to GetNumberOfSystemDescriptors(...).

- Fixed bug wih the number of logical blocks in ReserveTrack(...) call.

- Track-At-Once burning fixed not to do generic "read track info" for broken SAMSUNG device.

- Fix for HP DVD Writer 640v. Now it is forced to burn in multisession mode for small DVD images (<1GB).

- StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetTrackInformation(...) updated to take care of the broken MATSHITA devices running under Windows 2000 (20MB less capacity reported for them).

- Session closing is fixed to provide workaround for broken PIONEER 111 and DVD+R media (patch was active only for PIONEER 110 before).

- Reading TOC for CD changed in the way we'll detect last track end (the one before lead-out) in the same way we do it for other tracks. Now ending LBA for the last track in the TOC should be also accurate.

- Added the code for Track-At-Once to call StopPlayScan(...) for broken SAMSUNG drive when burning video stream.

- Restoring of write parameters during burning updated to enable Packet-At-Once fix for SONY DVD RW DW-U18A and it's OEM name LiteOn SOHW-812S CD/DVD burners.

- StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GrabTrack(...) fix for PIONEER 105 device (does not restore default read error recovery).

- Fixed bug in building ISO9660/Joliet file tree image that caused volume set name overflow in Unicode name for Joliet volume descriptor.

- Changed default cache size in OCX for devices enumeration. Added FreeDeviceCache method. So OCX now consumes significantly less memory.

- Added notification callback interface StarBurn.IStarBurnNotificationCallBack and Device.NotifyCallbackTestWriteDisabled callback for OCX.

Is this the case w/ the OCX in 6.6.30 as well? I'm unable to register the OCX, for some reason. Also, does Cancel in CJolietImage cancel SaveImageToFile or is that planned for a later release (it is not listed in the release notes or in the help, so I assume it'll be in a later release).

There would be a "service" release of StarBurn 6.6.30 in next few weeks (when Alexander would be back from his vacation). We'd face referenced issues in it. Sorry, if we'd release our code w/o pending issues there would be no releases at all

of course, i guess i was just wondering how to register the OCX since it doesn't allow it currently. software will always have kinks to work out and features to add, no worries there. thanks much for the reply

Here is a sample how to register OCX

this is something written in C# already worked w/ the old ocx, but i saw the improved memory management update and thought it was important...the issue isn't registering as in my license, it's registering it as in regsvr32 so i can access it from within my project (add it as a reference).

@regsvr32 StarBurn.ocx is what i'm using, which works great w/ the old ocx copy..i'm talking about manually, externally registering the OCX.

thanks.

I can't register ocx too (in 6.6.3 version only, all previous work fine)

yea, i think they accidently linked mfg to it dynamically as with a prerelease version i received before. that's why i posted that quote.

Hi!

I'm back from vacations and we are making service release today with this fix included.

Great, thanks very much and I hope you had a great vacation! Will the new release be 6.6.30 still or will it have a different version number (.40 or something).

Hi!

It has the same number (6.6.30). It is already updated, you can download it.

Alexander Orlovsky

Nice to hear everything works fine for you

me too, thanks. i've just released the final 3.0 version of my freeware backup app. it'll be listed on download.com in august..so you will get some exposure too
