#1 Burning Software

We've tested ou tyour Grab and Burn software and found it does disc to disc copying. We need to do this with the Starburn SDK. I can guess as to how to do TrackAtOnce disc to disc copying(trackatoncefrompipe) but there isn't any equivilent SessionAtOnceFromPipe so how can we do this using Starburn?

Also is it possible to use the pipe command to burn live audio?

Grab&Burn is not based on StarBurn SDK. It has own CD/DVD burning engine.

In theory you can we've never tested this.

1. Can I use TrackAtOnceFromPipe to copy a disc on the fly if I can read the data from the master disc and properly format it.

2. Also, is there any information on using the FromPipe command?

3. And is there any chance of getting a DiaskAtOnceFromPipe or SessionAtOnceFromPipe command in the future?

4. If we are willing to pay are you willing/able top add a disc to disc copy command(preferably with a TAO, SAO and DAO options?

thanks.

1) Yes of course! I don't see any reason why it should not work.

2) I don't think so... The only thing we can issue you with - Delphi samples we've created for some custom project a year or so ago. Drop me a message if you'd be interested.

3) Never. It's not mainstream functionality.

4) No. First of all it's damn lot of work. Raw CD copy engine is at least two man-years. And this stuff is *VERY* hardware dependent. Biggest pain in the butt you can imagine... Second, CDs are dying technology. Better to invest time into new 64-bit codebase, different OSes support, UDF packet driver, network burning etc etc etc then spend life on CDs nobody would even need in a year or two... Third, we have some noticable interest in CD raw copy products sold today in the Internet. And I don't want to cannibalize the market and create competitors to our partners. I'm simply not interested in having another product doing raw CD copy. That's why I would not do this work for anything less then $250K *PRE-PAID*. And for around $40K you can buy Padus engine doing raw CD and DVD copy with more or less success... That's the story! So DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD copy - WELCOME! CDs - NEVER.
