Opinions Wanted For New DVD Burner Utils

[nyteschayde]

I think its great that you'd release these tools! A couple of ideas for the GUI:

Code: [Select]


Drag and Drop
  + Drag a mounted CD image onto the app and have it go to the create an ISO
     Screen; pre-configured.
  + Drop an ISO onto the app and have it auto-configure the ISO for burning or
Mount ISO Images
  + I didn't see this as an option for your tool, but being able to mount an ISO
     would so insanely useful that I couldn't not post it here. It may be beyond
     what you've written so far but if not, it would be greatly appreciated.


:idea:
Hi everyone I'm new to this sight (in fact new to the internet !!!) and I was looking to see if anybody out there thinks it would be a good idea for me to release for free (on Aminet or somewhere) some DVD burning software I have written.

After never being able to find any decent or easy to use DVD burning software for the Amiga, I finally decided to write my own. It was much easier than I thought (had put it off for years, cos I thought it would be too difficult).

Anyway these progs that I have written are all in 68k and cli/shell only at the moment. I was in the process of writing a GUI for them but one of my burners packed up (should be taking delivery of a new one this week).

There are 6 utils I have written (sorry the names aren't a bit more imaginative !)

DVDburnISO 6.5k
DVDripISO 6.4K
DVDduplicate 6.2k (requires 2 burners)
DVDerase 5k
DVDcheck 6.2K
DVDinfo 2.4k

Their all quite simply to use
eg: DVDburnISO scsi.device 2 test.iso
would burn the file test.iso to the burner on scsi.device unit 2

The burning and duplicate utils can burn to +/- DVDs both R & RW and can burn to + dual layer disks. I use SmartFileSystem for storing the ISO images as you need a filesystem that can cope with ISO files bigger than 4Gb.

The progs have been fully tested on my various A1200,s from 020 to 060 and all work fine under 0S3.0 to OS3.9. (Tested it on OS4.0, works but I never use 4.0, too slow on my miggy)

Anyone out their think there might be a need for them please give me your views/opinions.

Cheers
