#1 Burning Software

Before a user saves a disk to an image I would like to check to make sure they have enough room on their hard drive. The resulting MDF file is a good deal larger than the data on the disk that is visible to the OS. For example, the disk says it is 95.48 MB, but the MDF file is 117MB. Is there a way to predict the final size of the MDF file before it is saved?

This is using StarBurnX. Thanks.

Quite simple. Parse TOC and multiply number of sectors each track has to 2448 (raw sector size). Then you'll have MDF size )

I searched help for TOC, table of contents and sectors and didn't find much. Can you give me a quick sample of this using StarBurnX?

Thanks.

Hello,

The DiscInfo class keeps collection of Sessions. Each Session keeps collection of Tracks. The Track class has property Size. You should multiply the size of each track on 2448 (raw sector size).
