CD burning software?
What is required for an developer to incorperate CD burning into an application?
I assume that most CD burners come with thier own library to handle the burning process. Drivers whatever have you.
If this is the case then would it not also be true that all a developer needs to in order to burn a files to CD, is to copy user desired files to that CD drive location.
I assume that the burning process would be handled by the libraries.
Much in the same way a digital cam can be read/wrote to as a drive.
Is this true? Or do I need to specifically use the libraries? And if that is true then what libraries do any of you suggest? Any example code?
Thanks in advance.

Good to see you back..
What I am wondering is if I have to do anything at all to be able to use the CD burning. I figure the software is most likely already installed to handle the burning process.
Could it be just as simple as writing a file to the drive?

There are lots of CD burner code in sourceforge.com, just search "burner" keyword.

Ok. I'll check it out and come back

Well, a page and a half of choices to choose from. Any chance I could get your opinion on what looks like a good one?
I also have the ability to build an exe out of any Perl script (plx) file. So I could call it up with ShellExecuteEx.
There are some terminology I am not familiar with like the ISO ...etc...
Also right at the top of the page (search results for burner on http://www.sourceforge.net ) is a refference to a Delphi component. I imagine that I would not have too hard a time using it. I could be completely wrong though...
What would you recommend from the page and half list?

Have not found a free source code for VC++. Just some commercial products, this is the cheapest:

I followed the link and also tried looking up more details about it on google. Cant find a page with more information other than a few words saying it does burning.
However, the page from http://www.sourceforge.com that you recommended in the first place had a page and half of what seemed to be free downloads (GPL).

I have been looking arround to see if I could find more detail on just what it is capable of doing. Have even wrote to the author of the software and hoping for a reply.
My apology for not replying to you sooner.

I still want to know how to do this either myself or with free library.
Here's more points.

first point: Every burning software like Nero or Roxio can burn in almost any standard CD burner, so you don't need specific libraries
