Hi
Can anybody tell me which windows API or python module they are using
for writing cd's / dvd's with python?
Thanks

I'd install cygwin and use cdrecord. That seems the easiest way to go
about burning disks to me.

Hi,
I used cdrecord, albeit on Linux, to do it. Someone already suggested
to use Cygwin for that.
I'll just drop a piece of code I wrote for getting the percentage of
advance when recording sound, with cdrecord. Here it is (wraps
cdrecord):
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Canonizer: will open up a program and try to canonize its output.
Output is program dependent (different information is needed) but
always
canonical (messages are one line long, and parsable through splitting)
Currently only cdrecord will be implemented, but will be tailored for
anything.
Usage:
canonizer.py <myprogram and options>
"""

Other people have offered sound suggestions about using
cdrecord etc. under Cygwin. Just to make the point, though,
XP (and above, presumably) does have an inbuilt interface
for burning CDs. I've never used it, and I don't know how feasible
it would be to access it from Python. (Helpful, eh?)
The interface is ICDBurn and it should be possible to wrap
it with ctypes / ctypes.com but I haven't the time at the
moment to try it out. (And I haven't a CD writer in this machine
either!)
Ultimately, it might still be easier to install Cygwin and use
the cdrecord approach. I just wanted to make the point that
there *was* an in-built mechanism.

Nero has a commandline utility called NeroCMD.exe (not sure if you
needed a free solution or not)
Here's some sample code and write-up using NeroCMD.exe with Python: http://www.answermysearches.com/inde...ng-process/10/

Hi all,
Is it possible to programmatically using C# burn a bunch of files in a
predefined location to CD-R ?
The application will be run in Windows 2000 environments. If it's possible,
I would like it NOT to use third party like Nero SDK, but only the main
Windows 2000 and VS.NET 2003.
I've googled and found samples for use with WinXP, Linux, KDE, etc etc, but
none are meant for Windows 2000?
I'll appreciate very much samples and help.

I have a problem, may be you are able to help me ;)
We wrote an application that burns audio CDs and everything works fin
(we're using IMAPI for burning).
But if burn process finishes there is an event raised, something lik
"media inserted". This event leads to an Dialog, that asks if user wan
to play this CD.

I'm writing an app to speed up distribution of updates to remote users

2) CD Image is burnt to disc
3) CD is dispatched.
What I want to do is have the user select the software package and then

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone out there is aware of any .NET CD/DVD burning
component. I'm really just interested in burning files to CD/DVD do I
don't care about MP3/MPEG-2 support or anything like that. What I
basically need is the ability to put files and folders onto the CD/
DVD. Ideally it would work on IOStreams so that I could do it all in
memory with MemoryStream's.
Some of the things I would like but are not necessary:

Hi,
I am looking for a way to burn CDs from VB.NET application. I have
found a lot of posts asking about that but the links provided are
mostly dead. There is IMAPI but as far as I know, it is not easy to
use with VB.NET.
So I am looking for a library or any method that will allow me to burn
CDs including burning multiple copies of one CD.
