#1 Burning Software

Is it possible to get the extra information related to drive and disk like:

Track path, copy protection, file system, Date of Burn, Publisher, Video Format, Region, Play Time, disc manufacturer ID, Disc ID, UPC/EAN

Thank you in advance for your help!

Track path is not stored anywhere on the disc, for copy protection you need to call GetDVDProtectionSystem(...) API call, file system, DB, publisher and video formats are undermined, for DVD regions call GetDVDRegionMask(...) for rest of the things call GetDiscInformation(...).

Hello Dima,

For the same topic I was searching.
I have gone through total Help provided for StarBurnX and was observing the log files which are created at my side. I got very much extra information about address of drive at hardware as 2:0:1:0.

And much more information. If it's not possible to include in SDK. It's OK. But can you just please tell me how to obtain that by using some Windows API's to me then it will great.

Thank you in advance.

Please don't use ASPI and the whole concept of "SCSI address". It's for backward-compatibility with already-written StarBurn SDK based applications. StarBurnX uses either SPTI or SPTD naming convention (direct device symbolic links) so SCSI address is bogus information for this wrapper.

Hello Support,

OK. StarBurnX uses SPTI or SPTD naming conventions. But can I get extra information like date of manufacture, manufacturer of disc, CSS protection.

You mean INSERTED MEDIA or BURNER DEVICE?

Hello Anton,

Yes,
Inserted Media.
We are getting disc information, but it's very less.

Waiting for reply.

Hello,

Ok, we will extend the DiscInfo class in order to provide extra information about the inserted disc.

Regards,

Dmitry

Hello,

1) Will the newer build will contain this extended information?
2) How to use the above discussed APIs in .NET?
a) GetDVDProtectionSystem
b) GetDVDRegionMask
c) GetDiscInformation to get play time, disc manufacture ID, disc ID, UPC/EAN.

Thank you.

Hello,

We have added some new properties to DiscInfo object:

- ProtectionSystem;
- DVDRegionMask;
- FileSystem;
- IsDiscBootable;

You can download the latest build from our ftp:

Hello,

I downloaded both new files. Placed them in application. Then registered the newer StarBurnX.dll. After that I closed solution then re-compiled soltuion.
But nothing is changed. I observed the DiscInfo class, it is having same properties and functions as previous one. Specified newer functions in this post are not available in this class.

Is anything wrong?

Hello,

Hmm .. it's strange so ... let's try to repeat the all steps again ...

1) Copy the new StarBurnX.dll to the "Right place" ( it may be folder of the your .net project for example );

2) Register the StarBurnX.dll by using regsvr32;

3) Open the your .Net project and remove the Reference of the previous version of StarBurnX;

4) Click on the "Add reference" menu;

5) Select the COM!!!!!!!! tab in the opened dialog

6) Select the "StarBurnX 10.0 Type Library" ( and press OK ). On this step, you can verify also path to the target StarBurnX.dll;

7) Call the "Clean Solution" and the "Rebuild" actions for the your .net project;

Note:
The StarBurnX component it's the COM component so you should generate interop assembly for the StarBurnX in order to make possible usage of StarburnX in the .NET environment:
1) You may use the tlbimp.exe utility - [tlbimp.exe PathToStarBurnX\starburnx.tlb];
2) You may add reference to the StarBurnX COM component manually thus the Visual Studio will generate the interop assembly automatically;

Hello Support,

Thank you for reply.
1) Can we burn mini DVDs(8 cm)? These discs are not listed in disc types Enum and supported disc type list.
2) While going through the main website. In Contact Us tab there is status of I guess the support staff. I am getting that status as OFFLINE. Normally when you are online so that I can directly ask you the question. Is it possible?
Actually no one asked this before is it OK that I am requsting you for this?

Thank you once again.
