#1 Burning Software

I'm trying to write a very basic program that uses only a few of the vast number of features StarBurn support. Basically this program has 3 options, it can burn a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder, burn a DVD from an ISO image or create an ISO image from a VIDEO_TS folder. However the samples included with the SDK are ludicrously complicated. The code is spead out across dozens of files due to the property sheet based wizard interface and I can't make heads or tails of what is actually going on. I figured I'd start off by just doing something simple and attempted to just get a list of the drives available on the system but I can't even get it to compile. It appears that I need to use the CDeviceFinder class, but I get linker and compiler errors whenever I attempt to use that class in any of my own code. (the sample app compiles fine)

Does anyone have any simpler sample source code I could take a look at that might help me figure out how to get this going? I tried looking at the commandline programs, but I'm a C++ guy and have very little experience with straight C so those don't make much sense to me either.

Prior to this I was using a competing SDK, and while it was very simple to code for it had some compatibility problems with certain DVD burners so I had to dump it. I was hoping the transition to StarBurn would be simple but so far I've spent 3 days messing with this and I still haven't even been able to get it to build, let alone actually do anything.

Please help!

There are very basic and very simple console samples. Take a look at %StarBurnRoot%\Samples\Console\[C|Pascal] folders and you'll find tiny lovely things there. Example you'd start looking from is called DVDVideoTrackAtOnceFromTree[Ex] and it does EXACTLY what you want. With as few lines of code as possible
