#1 Burning Software

Hello

Steve

1) We have provided C# examples with our new component StarBurnX OCX which you can download from our link was removed

The StarBurnX component provides the DiscInfo object which keeps information about the media type and free space available on media.

!! We recommend to use the StarBurnX for .Net programming !!

Notify me please if functionality of StarBurnX does not cover all of functionality necessary for you.


2) If you prefer to use SDK directly you should use the SDK function StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetDiscFreeSpace which returns number of free logical blocks on the disc. To convert LB value into Mb you can use SDK constants MODE1_LB_SIZE_IN_UCHARS, MODE2_FORM2_LB_SIZE_IN_UCHARS, MODE2_FORM1_LB_SIZE_IN_UCHARS etc.

((LBSizeValue * LogicalBlockSize)/1024)/1024

where LogicalBlockSize = MODE1_LB_SIZE_IN_UCHARS (or MODE2_FORM1_LB_SIZE_IN_UCHARS etc.)


3) To get type of media you should use the SDK function StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_GetInsertedDiscType which returns DISC_TYPE enumeration value

Does the calculation differ for discInformation.FreeLBs call based
on it s media type(dvd+r,dvd-r, etc). This is the code that I am using

StarBurn.CDiscInfo discInformation = device.GetDiscInfo();

long dvdSize = discInformation.FreeLBs;
dvdSize = dvdSize * 2048;

Thanks;
Steve
