#1 Burning Software

HI, I'm evaluating your toolkit for functionality that I need for a project. I have some questions about the following functionality

#1 Is it possible to close the drive tray?
#2 Can a UDF formatted Data DVD be appended to. If so, what is the API required to do this ?
#3 Can an ISO CD-R/W be appended to ?
#4 Is it possible to get the amount of free space remaining on the media ?
#5 Is there an easy way to find out if there is media in the drive.

thanks,

Andy

Andy,

1) Sure! StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabb_Load(...) function does this.

2) Not yet... Next major update of StarBurn SDK would have ability to import (append) already created UDF volume. For now please stick with ISO9660 or Joliet if you plan to perform incremental writes.

3) Sure! Please see TrackAtOnceFromTreeWithImport.c (or .pas) sample. It does demonstrate how to import (append) created disc.

4) Sure! StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetTrackInformation(...) would
format TRACK_INFORMATION structure. m__LONG__FreeLBs is number of free sectors. You can multiply them on sector size (2048 bytes) and you'd get amount of free space on the volume.

5) Sure! StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TestUnitReady(...) would fail if there is no disc in drive.

You welcome!
