#1 Burning Software

I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to create a DVD. The DVD would be nothing fancy, just a bunch of captured video clips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The ideal solution would look like this:

- I have a bunch MPEG2 clips in a directory.

- I start a script (or simple program) that results in a DVD with all the clips included.

- Being able to specify a title for the DVD and chapter titles would be nice but not necessary.

What I would ideally like to do is to be able to tell someone to load a blank DVD and then start this program (or script). When it's done, they eject the DVD and go on their merry way.

The idea is a simple one step process to dump all the clips to DVD without requiring someone to manually author the DVD. If there's one product that can do this that's great. Alternatively it could be a series of applications that can be strung together to accomplish the same thing.

I'm also open to writing my own custom application. Can I use the StarBurn SDK to accomplish this?

Thanks

Hi,



I recommend you to use StarBurnX (http://www.rocketdivision.com/downloads/StarBurnX.zip). It's a COM-wrapper of StarBurn SDK.
There is a sample of DVD-Video building application.
Of course, you can use some scripts like the following:

Thank you for the quick reply. The StarBurnX code you posted looks like a simple way to create the iso image.

How do I create the VOB, IFO, BUP files? Does StarBurn SDK provide that capability?

Once the iso image is created, can StarBurn SDK burn it to a DVD?

Thanks again

Hi,



ISO - it's only extension. In our case it contains ISO9660/UDF1.02 bridge filesystem which alse called DVD-Video filesystem.



VOB - it's your MPEG2 video files. Creation of IFO/BUP files is not supported by StarBurn SDK.



Yes, you may do it by to way:
1. Create the ISO-image and then burn it with Device.TrackAtOnceFromFile
2. Use Device.TrackAtOnceFromHandle to burn filesystem data without temporary ISO-file.

If I do Create a simple Video-DVD like Following code:

function CreateImage()
{
var Image = new ActiveXObject( "StarBurnX.DVDVideoImage" );
Image.AddFile("c:\\vob\\VIDEO_TS.VOB");
Image.AddFile("c:\\vob\\VIDEO_TS.IFO");
Image.AddFile("c:\\vob\\VIDEO_TS.BUP");
Image.AddFile("c:\\vob\\VTS_01_1.VOB");
Image.Build("EASY TRIBUTE CREATOR 2005",false);
return Image;
}
var x=CreateImage();
var c = new ActiveXObject( "StarBurnX.SimpleCallback" );
x.SaveImageToFile("c:\\111.iso",c);
WScript.Echo('Saved!');

In the Result DVD or ISO File
Could StarBurn auto create 'VIDEO_TS' and 'AUDIO_TS' folder?
And save VIDEO_TS.VOB, VIDEO_TS.IFO... in 'VIDEO_TS' Folder?

How Can I do it with COM_WRAPPER?
The Demo StarBurnX Only Add File ,How to Add Folder(like D:\DVD\AUDIO_TS and D:\DVD\VIDEO_TS)?

Thank you very much.

What data do you have as input for your DVD-Video title? I mean do you just need us to master already prepared DVD-Video authorized content or you just have bunch of MPEG2 video files and AC3 audio files and some menues in XML and BMP you'd like to author and only then master?

Thank you for your so quick reply.
Before Burn Files,I have create All DVD Video file and DVD Audio file with my own dvd author.
For example,I have create D:\DVDOutput Folder :
DVDOUTPUT
|__AUDIO_TS
| |....
|
|__VIDEO_TS
|
|_VIDEO_TS.VOB
|_VIDEO_TS.IFO
|.....
Now, This Folder can Play with PowerDVD or Other DVD Player.
I will burn DVDOUTPUT folder with all subfolder and all files.
How can I "Add Folder" ?

Sorry.
Demo StarBurnX is OK.
I have test it.
But StarBurn SDK Help is so Poor in COM Wrapper.

I have a question With DVDImage.SaveImageToFile(filename.StarBurnCallBack)

How can i show StarBurnCallBack's Percent in my form's progressbar?

Pass Device.Callback in the second param of SaveImagetoFile????

Could you give me a short demo code?

Somebody Who have demo code in delphi like StarBurnX?

Sorry, My English is so poor.

There two ways:
1. You should implement IStarBurnCallBack interface and pass it as second parameter to DVDImage.SaveImageToFile. This function will call your handler of function ProgressCallBack.


2. You can also to create an object StarBurnX.SimpleCallback and to pass it as second parameter. Then in other thread you can access to the Percent property.


Think it will help you.

But it is not in Delphi!

Primary target is C/C++ that's why all of the demos appear for C/C++ initially and only get ported to Delphi. Hold on, we'll try to find some sample for this.
