How to use the DVD Burner The driver that writes the data (burns the data) to the DVD. It is the software that burns the DVD image to the physical media.DVD image A set of files that contain all of the video and audio content for a DVD, organized with a table of contents (optional). See also: Title, Chapter The name for each individual video file on a DVD. For example, under the title "Water Skiing", you might have the chapters "My first try," "My first wreck," and "My first jump.", ISO Image. to the physical media.DVD image to the physical media. to burn ISO files and DVD images
The DVD burner functionality makes it possible to burn ISO and DVD images on recordable and writable media.
To begin burning, follow the steps:
1. |
Create an instance of the LTDVDBurner object. |
VB Source
Public gLDVDBurner As LTDVDBurner
Set gLDVDBurner = New LTDVDBurner
2. |
The burner object can burn an ISO file or DVD Image . For example, assume that a DVD image can be found on the path “C:\DVDImage” and an ISO file can be found on the path "C:\ISOFile\Image.iso". |
3. |
To burn a DVD image, use an empty writable or rewritable DVD. To burn ISO files, use either an empty writeable or rewritable CD or DVD. |
4. |
Eject the drive tray and insert the empty disc: |
VB Source
gLDVDBurner.EjectDisc
5. |
Load the tray: |
VB Source
gLDVDBurner.LoadDisc
6. |
Associate the DVD image path and/or the ISO file to the burner object: |
VB Source
' For the DVD Image
TxtInputPath.Text = "C:\DVDImage"
gLDVDBurner.InputPath = TxtInputPath.Text
' For the ISO file
TxtInputPath.Text = "C:\ISOFile\Image.iso"
gLDVDBurner.InputPath = TxtInputPath.Text
7. |
Set the Volume name for the disc: |
VB Source
TxtVolumeName.Text = "DRIVE-1"
gLDVDBurner.VolumeName = TxtVolumeName.Text
8. |
Retrieve the available speeds for the drive and the empty target disk: |
VB Source
Dim lCount As Long
gLDVDBurner.RefreshSpeedList
' Get the number of available speeds
lCount = gLDVDBurner.SpeedCount
' For each index value, retrieve the name of the speed
' Use this feature to display the names of the available speeds
For i = -1 To lCount - 1
strSpeed = gLDVDBurner.GetSpeedName(i)
' Do something with the name.
Next i
9. |
Select the burning speed: |
VB Source
' Select the speed that you want
gLDVDBurner.CurrentSpeed = lCount – 1;
10. |
Erase the disc if it is required and if the disc is an erasable type: |
VB Source
Dim bEraseable As Boolean
bEraseable = gLDVDBurner.Eraseable
If (bEraseable = True)
gLDVDBurner.Erase
11. |
Test the burning process, if it is required. Testing the burning process is a simulation of the burning process but without a real burning of the disc. It is much safer when you use a high speed with certain types of discs: |
VB Source
Dim bTestwriteable As Boolean
bTestwriteable = gLDVDBurner.TestWriteable
If (bTestwriteable = True)
gLDVDBurner.TestWrite
12. |
Now, start burning: |
VB Source
gLDVDBurner.Write
