#1 Burning Software

Hi,

When burning a CD we can receive an event with this signature :

delegate void OnProgress(int percent, int timeRemaining);

The problem is that it is received for each "burning" track. Then, several times it go from 0% up to 100%...

But for which track ? Is there a way to know the current track that is burning ? and the "Global percentage" of the burning ?

Thanks

You also receive track start & end callbacks and you know number of tracks you're burning... Or you use StarBurnX and not StarBurn core?

I know this thread is old, but I'm wondering the same thing: Would I really have to keep track of which track is currently being burned? Should I do Track++ whenever I get to 0% or 100%? Can I actually rely on getting all percent values from 0 to 100? Start and End callbacks, as well as a total progress, would be nice but if I understood that correctly, StarBurnX (which is all I can use for .NET) does not have such events? Why not?

B/c it's build on the top of the StarBurn core and does not have 100% of the core features overwrapped. Too much work and StarBurn core API & features were found a bit of redundant... If you want somethig - let us know and we'll add it to some minor StarBurnX update. It's not a problem absolutely.

Thanks for your explanation. So far I believe that it is OK since I was able to create my own small wrapper for this event which provides me with all information I need. I'll let you know when I miss something which I cannot more or less easily replicate.

Sure! Create a document named "XXX reasons why I hate StarBurnX" and we'll try to fix araised issues one-by-one )

Hm, maybe what about mixed mode audio discs? Is that possible? The current burning library I use (and would like to get away from) allows me to specify whether or not to "close" the disc after burning. If I leave it open, I can add data files afterwards. I checked the FAQ and documentation, but mixed mode discs are mentioned nowhere.

Now I found a problem that doesn't seem easy to workaround: When burning with DAO, "percent" is for the total burning process, when burning TAO it refers to the current track. I'd say that this is rather inconsistent, and also, it doesn't allow me to find out which track is currently being burned when using DAO.

You can perfectly do it with the StarBurn right now. Don't close session after track burning and add multiple audio tracks and close session only after last track is added.

Well, then how to close a session? Or how not to close a session? I don't see any options for that in the StarBurnX/AudioBurner interface.

Hello,

Yes, you are right the AudioBurner finalizes a disc automatically

We are improving this behavior ... we will notify you when new update will be ready.

Great, thanks for your efforts

Nothing for yet (as I see).

Any news on that? Or additional information for the progress event?

Hello,

I hope the new build of StarBurnX will be ready next week!
