Audio CD disc at once question

Hello,

I want to burn a discs in DAO mode using the SDK. Is there any information on how to create the TOC, or in other words, how do I prepare the raw disc data with lead-in, lead-out, pause times, CD-text, ISRC etc.

Is this supported by Starburn?

best regards,

Pieter

Yes, fully supported and completely isolated from you. StarBurn does DAO mastering by itself. You only pass audio tracks (raw or compressed, decompression will be handled on-the-fly) and CD-Text information (optional). And we'll do DAO96 for you.

and what about the track spacing or pauses? How does one enter this information in DAO mode?

No pauses with DAO when burning with StarBurn SDK.

ok, but to my understanding the TOC handles the track spacing in DAO mode. Can you point me to information how to build the TOC to do this?

You're wrong. Pauses are encoded in subchannel information.

You don't build the TOC. You provide us with the list of tracks packed into DAO_DISC_LAYOUT structure. Take a closer look at DiscAtOnceFromFile console sample. That's the most stright-forward way for you.

It still isn't clear to me, sorry.

I can't find any C# information on how I prepare the data to burn like ISRC, CD-Text, PQ indexes, for burning in DAO mode.

Can you help?

Hello,

1) See the AudioBurner Example for the StarurnX! (not for the StarBurn SDK). The StarBurnX component was automatically installed on your computer with the StarBurn SDK v. 10.x.

2) The StarBurnX is a COM wrapper around the StarBurn SDK functionality, however the StarBurnX DOES NOT provide all functionality of the StarBurn SDK!

3) There are the main steps for burning Audio CD using the StarBurnX:
- create and initialize the StarBurnX object;
- create the AudioBurner object;
- specify the audio files and CD Text for them;
- specify the CD TEXT for the whole disc;
- specify the Drive which will burn Audio Disc;
- specify the burning method;
- and finally .. start burn!!

Regards,

Dmitry
