TCBurner 0.9.3 ready for download

[SQUIRE]

Ah OK, I see. That allows DVD RW's to be played back on consumer DVD players, right?

[Hammillian7]

I told that about DVD+RW because I intended to use one as a test of my whole system (new HW and SW (and User!) ) in multisessionning DVDs, without spoiling one DVD+R. What I found was that the TC CD/DVD Burner SW warned me that +RW media was treated differently and couldn't do my test that way.

Thanks.

ComplexCD allows multiple sessions too.

But I've tried your link, the DeepBurner was mentioned, but impossible to reach for me for about 15 minutes.

Sorry, there has been a typo in my link (I linked to deppburner instead deepburner). I corrected it now (even in your answer).

So please try again.

Any chance to see an update of this plugin? Or is it really a dead project?

TIA

[Matrix]

You're already the second one to say that. I guess if some more demand the old golden CD back, I'll put it back in, even if Poul Dam (who helped me a lot with the icons) will be sad then.

yes i do like the gold icon too.

[iElectric]

I think you shouldn't count on this plugin anymore Maybe some other dev will continue this project.

Another idea...

ImgBurn (a fantastic free CD/DVD burner) has a command-line interface.

Perhaps someone could write a filesystem plugin that creates CDs and DVD burning them with ImgBurn...

Here's the info:

|==================================|
| Program Name: | ImgBurn |
|==================================|
| Author: | LIGHTNING UK! |
|==================================|

Supported Command Line Switches:

(You can get a basic version of this list via 'ImgBurn.exe /?')

/MODE <ISOBUILD | ISOWRITE | ISOVERIFY | DISCOVERY>
Used to tell the program which 'Mode' to open up in.

/BUILDMODE <DEVICE | IMAGEFILE>
Used to tell the program which 'Build Mode' to open up in.
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/SRC <Drive Letter | SCSI Address> | "<Folder Name>" | "<File Name>"
Used to select the source drive or filename.
Drive Letter or SCSI Address applies to ISOVERIFY mode.
Folder Name applies to ISOBUILD mode.
File Name applies to ISOBUILD, ISOWRITE and DISCOVERY modes.
Examples: /SRC J:
/SRC 1:0:0
/SRC "C:\DVD_FILES\VIDEO_TS"
/SRC "C:\DVDIMAGE.ISO"
/SRC "C:\BackupProject.IBB"

In ISOBUILD mode, you can specify an '.IBB' file as the source.
This is an 'ImgBurn Backup Project' file and is a simple text file containing the names of folders / files to add to the image, along with the various configuration options.
The simplest way to find the correct syntax for an '.IBB' file is to have ImgBurn create one via the 'Save Project...' option in the 'File' menu, and then look at it in notepad.

/DEST <Drive Letter | SCSI Address> | "<File Name>"
Used to select the filename or drive.
Drive Letter or SCSI Address applies to ISOWRITE and DISCOVERY modes.
File Name applies to ISOBUILD and ISOVERIFY modes ('DEST' actually means 'Compare' here for ISOVERIFY mode).
Examples: /DEST J:
/DEST 1:0:0
/DEST "C:\DVDIMAGE.ISO"

/FILESYSTEM "<File System>"
Used to change the value of the 'File System' drop down list.
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.
The parameter must match the value within the drop down list exactly.
Examples: /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660"
/FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + Joliet"
/FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF"

/VOLUMELABEL "<Volume Label>"
Used to set the value of the volume label fields.
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.
Length limits are automatically applied. i.e. 32 chars for ISO9660, 16 for Joliet, 126 for UDF.

To specify different volume labels for each file system, the following switches are also available:

/VOLUMELABEL_ISO9660 "<Volume Label>"
/VOLUMELABEL_JOLIET "<Volume Label>"
/VOLUMELABEL_UDF "<Volume Label>"

These will override what's been set (if anything) by the '/VOLUMELABEL' switch.

/SPEED <Write Speed>
Used to change the value of the 'Write Speed' drop down list.
The parameter must match the value within the drop down list exactly.
Examples: /SPEED MAX
/SPEED 1x
/SPEED 2.4x (or 2,4x depending on regional settings)

/COPIES <Number Of Copies>
Used to change the value of the 'Copies' drop down list.
The parameter must match the value within the drop down list exactly.
Only applies to ISOWRITE mode.
Example: /COPIES 2

/LAYERBREAK <LBA>
Used to tell the program where to put the layerbreak.
Only applies when burning DVD+R DL discs.
Examples: /LAYERBREAK 2000000

/ERASE
Used to automatically erase / format / overwrite media.

/OVERWRITE <YES | NO>
Used to force the program to either overwrite all existing files, or never overwrite them.

/TESTMODE <YES | NO>
Used to make the program simulate the burn - whereby no data is actually written to the disc.
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Test Mode' box for you!

/VERIFY <YES | NO>
Used to make the program verify a disc is readable after it has been burnt.
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Verify after write' box for you!

/DELETEIMAGE <YES | NO>
Used to make the program delete the image after it has been burnt.
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Delete Image after write' box for you!

/START
Used to start the burn process automatically when the program has finished initialising.
Basically, it just presses the 'Write' / 'Verify' button for you!

/CLOSE
Used to close the program when the burn process has finished.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!

/CLOSEINFO
Used to close the program when the text file specified by '/INFO' has been created.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!

/CLOSESUCCESS
Used to close the program when the burn process has finished AND was successful.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!

/SHUTDOWN
Used to shutdown the computer when the program has finished burning.
Basically, it just checks the 'Shutdown computer when done' box for you!

/WAITFORMEDIA
Used in combination with /START and /CLOSE to wait until the program is 'Ready' to burn before trying to start.
Normally, if the program isn't 'Ready', the /CLOSE switch causes the program to close without having done anything.

/NOIMAGEDETAILS
Used to stop the program from displaying details about the image.
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/ROOTFOLDER <YES | NO>
Used to automate the 'Root Folder' prompt you get when only adding a single folder to the source list.
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Preserve Full Pathnames' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Recurse Subdirectories' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/INCLUDEHIDDENFILES <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Include Hidden Files' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/INCLUDESYSTEMFILES <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Include System Files' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/INCLUDEARCHIVEFILESONLY <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Include Archive Files Only' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/CLEARARCHIVEATTRIBUTE <YES | NO>
Basically, it just checks (or unchecks!) the 'Clear Archive Attribute' box for you!
Only applies to ISOBUILD mode.

/IBG "<File Name>"
Used to make the program write the graph data to a file of the specified name after burning (or verifying if it's enabled).

/LOG "<File Name>"
Used to make the program write the log to a file of the specified name when closing down.

/INFO "<File Name>"
Used to make the program write the contents of the drive/media information window (on the right side of the main window) to a file of the specified name after full initialising the media.

/SETTINGS "<File Name>"
Used to override loading the settings from the registry, and instead load from / save to the specified file.
If the file does not exist, default settings will be used and the program will attempt to save to the specified file when it's closed.

Even if this switch is not specified, the program will attempt to load from 'ImgBurn.ini' in the application exe's directory BEFORE it loads from the registry.

/NOSAVESETTING
Used to tell the program not to save ANY settings when it's closed.

THE END

Maybe some other dev will continue this project.

Well, since it's not opensource, the author should agree.

[SanskritFritz]

I wrote an audio CD with this plugin, and to my surprise, it wrote the tracks in opposite order! Double checked it with another CD, carfully copying the tracks in the right order, but still the same. I'm pretty sure it wasnt so before, maybe the new versions of TC cause this?

[iElectric]

Author says it's no use, because you need a licence for FoxBurner SDK.

Maybe one day, TC will have a fully working burner.

[majkinetor !]

How can it be ? You don't use FoxBurner SDK ilegally, but you use freeware tool that use FoxBuner SDK.

Anyway, plugin can be done using native Windows burning, controled via COM, so you don't need 3th party SDKs, just a will to do it.

I also don't see why ImageBurn can't be used, the same way as Vadim used Locate to create great plugin.

JFUFIUSDA:
Windows 9x/2000 dont have any native Burning included....

**************SirSilva********************************:
Sounds like non-serious limitation.
WIin 9x system is dead for years, MS don't update it.
Win 2K, if not dead, will be soon.

But, ok, if you like to state that limitation about hand of users is so serious that it totaly supperess wish of entire wolrd not using the crappy or old systems, then I guess you are again just plain stupid and so, your opinion should not be taken into account.

Ah, Sir Silva, the saviour of the day
I feel much better now.
