Introduction

With the LEADTOOLS Media Writer, developers can create and burn data CDs, DVDs and ISO using COM. DVD images can be burned to DVD R, +R, RW, +RW, +DL, CD R, and RW formats. When used in conjunction with the LEADTOOLS DVD Authoring functionality, developers have everything needed to create and burn movie DVDs. Additionally, any set of files can be burned to the disc, making document archival systems and DICOM DVD creation excellent examples of the many uses for the LEADTOOLS Media Writer.

The LEADTOOLS Media Writer and the LEAD DVD Burner module of the LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit are the same. It can be used with the Multimedia toolkit or as a standalone toolkit.
