#1 Burning Software

Dear Sirs,

I am working on a program that shall be able to copy "anything" (no matter if source is data or audio cd or source is DVD) as simply as possible.

Basically´my current strategy is (after the usual stuff) as follows: First I read the source TOC. Given that, I read all tracks indicated by the TOC into either a .wav file (if the TOC says it is audio) or into a .iso file for any non-audio track by means of the StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GrabTrack function.

When writing to disk I have a second loop in which the names of all tracks that have been read from the source are included into the l__DAO_DISC_LAYOUT structure. Then every track is written by means of the StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TrackAtOnceFromFile function to the disk.

Is this reasonable what I am doing or is this a bad concept. If it is NOT reasonable, can you give me any suggestion on how to improve it?

Best regards

StarBurn SDK is not good in raw CD 1:1 copy...

Anton,

your answer is as msytic to me as the oracle in Delphi:

Are you going to say that my trackwise approach is more appropiate with the Starburn SDK than trying it the "raw" way?

Or what else does your answer mean?

Best regards

You can burn in the loop WAVs but you cannot burn ISOs in the loop as track-to-track differences will be different on the current and source CD. So you'll get broken disc.
