Thread: Make a CD- Writer Program in VB?

    Question

    Dear Programmers,

    Is their a possibility of developing a program in Visual Basic which is able to produce a CD-Writing program. For example, a program which formats a rewritable disk. I would really like to be able to do this.

    I am a complete beginner to VB and so a tutorial would be helpful or any information you may have on this subject.

    Thanks

    Probably not without some seriously complex code

    Having a burner myself, I have learned that they use their own filesystem which is why CDRW's can't be read by conventional CD rom drives.

    If I am wrong then I would probably put this project at the top of my list too!

    Hope you find an answer. Good luck

    True,

    CDRW's don't necessarily write in CDFS format which is why they say that you're CD is only readable by CDRWs.

    Whether it's possible or not depends on you're vender and whether they release their API.

    I have seen an OCX on the web for CDRW's and have a copy around somewhere at work.

    but if you're a beginner to VB...?

    email me (it's my work email) and I'll take a look and if I can find it I'll send it to you
