#1 Burning Software

I've been experimenting with the StarBurn SDK and I've noticed that there are several methods exported by the StarBurn.dll file that are not documented in either the StarBurn.h file nor the reference manual.

The ones that I've encountered thus far are:

StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_CreateExEx
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_DisableHardwareErrorCorrection
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_DiscBasicInformation_Create
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_DiscBasicInformation_Destroy

Can you possibly fill in the details on what the calling parameters are, what the return values are, etc...

They are documented in the private header some other products built around StarBurn use. The ones you've listed would be never referenced in the manual as there's no interest in this code for rest of the world.

P.S. Maybe except CreateExEx. But we need to distribute special set of drivers to make this code work. To bypass broken SCSI filters quite a lot of the CD/DVD burning applications install.

I noticed that are more methods that I can not find documentation for. The methods are:

StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_Read
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_Read10
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_ReadCD
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_RestoreReadErrorRecovery

The only "read" method I can find coument is StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_ReadATIP.

Your help would be appreciated.

Bad news: they are also undocumented and never would be "uncovered".

Good news: upcoming version of StarBurn would allow to read logical blocks from CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD with dedicated API call.

Stay tuned. Coming really soon

I know you're going to hate this question, but do you have an ETA on when that will be released? A financial quarter is near enough. I don't need anything highly specific just something in the ballpark.

Thanks.

Core library itself is done. We're only polishing the samples. You can already get RC version which would have identical to release (with the exception of the samples of course).

How would I go about getting a copy of the RC? Additionaly, is there a change document that shows me what API calls have changed between the current version I'm using (6.6.30) and the new version?

1) Drop me a message to info@rocketdivision.com and I'll provide you with a link.

2) No single API call changed. StarBurn is backward compatible.
