Burn DVD in VB.Net

[Jerry Spence1]

I am creating a project involving video files and I need to be able to offer
the user the ability to burn the result to DVD. I don't need any fancy
titles, transitions or anything.
I know there are nice tools such as Nero, but it would be nice to keep it
all within my application. Does anyone know how to do this? Are there any
ActiveX components to help?

Thanks

There may be 3rd party libraries which are not free, plus there is
Windows's IMAPI library that is used to burn files within .net
projects in these articles. AFAIK, DVD-support came with Imapi version

I am assuming you want to burn a Video DVD, not just burn files to a
DVD disk.

Files on a Video DVD must be in a very specific format, you just can
burn an MPEG2 to a DVD disk and play it in a DVD player.

I am personally not aware of any product or library that can do this
from your code, perhaps the other reponses will lead you to something.

Thank Zacks. I didn't realise that. I'll try it out.
