I'm trying to write a program in C++ that is able to burn an Audio CD without gaps between the tracks. From what I found, this has only recently been made possible using IMAPI, but should be possible since Windows XP SP2 and Vista SP1. The problem is that I can't find any example code on how to do this. What I did find is that I need to...
I'm looking for an API that would allow me to create an audio CD from within a C# application. The CDs are to be created and closed in the same session (no rewrite required). Basically, my application locates files on behalf of a user, and, if a blank CD is present in the drive, creates an audio CD for the user. If no CD is present, it c...
How do I open the CD/DVD door with a Windows API call? ...
Hi, I have a task and no idea how to tackle it! Basically, I want to disable the CD drive on a PC so our users can't use them. That's how I want to start anyway - ultimately I'd like an icon in the system tray that allows the CD drive(s) to be locked and unlocked providing you know a password. I need somewhere to start though - does ...
I'm a complete newbie to bash scripting. I remember there was a way to execute the cd command, automatically returning to the current directory (without an explicit cd ..). Any idea? ...
Hello everyone, I've developed a very simple ASP.NET (jQuery) application. The RDBMS is MS Sql Server but I could easily convert it in MS Access. My client would like to have it available on a CD, ready to run. I was thinking to convert it in a WinForm app but, still, I have to install the framework on the client. Is there any other "...
I have a product catalog using apache, php and mysql. I need to put it on a CD, so it can be run from it direclty. What possibilities are there? ...
This command and output: % find . -name file.xml 2> /dev/null ./a/d/file.xml % So this command and output: % dirname `find . -name file.xml 2> /dev/null` ./a/d % So you would expect that this command: % cd `dirname `find . -name file.xml 2> /dev/null`` Would change the current directory to ./a/d. Strangely this does not work. ...
I'm trying to implement my own version of the 'cd' command that presents the user with a list of hard-coded directories to choose from, and the user has to enter a number corresponding to an entry in the list. The program, named my_cd.py for now, should then effectively 'cd' the user to the chosen directory. Example of how this should wo...
What is the Microsoft-approved way to extract the raw audio data from an audio CD? I'm hoping to do this with C++ or C. It's ironic because in XP/Vista/7, there is the IMAPI (Image Mastering API) for writing data, but not for reading it. Is there a set of API functions for this? Or do I need to send SCSI commands? ...
The company I work for has a download manager in place that handles distribution, DRM, installation of our products - when a user gets them off our website. However, we're using an clunky system for packaging and protecting our products when we do press releases or make retail CDs. Part of the antiquation problem is the fact that the a...
I had a bookmark which described the process on how to do this - finding the name of a mounted CD in OS X - but I deleted the bookmark when I reformatted my Mac. :P Reading up on the subject, this is what I think might work. Basically, I need to verify if a particular CD is mounted before continuing in the application Access NSWorksp...
I am working on a project where we have created an interface using Flex (started with 3, moved to 4 to get access to the included video player component) that has a video and photo gallery. Everything has been going great except I am running into issues when running on Mac. For some reason the videos play but the images do not show. T...
Using Windows' WMI library, how can I eject CD rom mounted in a specific CD/DVD drive? I am asking for sources from WMI docs or examples since I am using wmi.py library on Python. It would be great if solution satisfies Windows computer newer than Windows 2000 and having multi CD-ROMs. (i.e. I have D: F: drives and both are CD-ROM dri...
I am usually using zsh, which provides the chpwd() hook. That is: If the cwd is changed by the cd builtin, zsh automatically calls the method chpwd() if it exists. This allows to set up variables and aliases which depend on the cwd. Now I want to port this bit of my .zshrc to bash, but found that chpwd() is not recognized by bash. Is a ...
I'd like to execute a particular bash function when I enter a new directory. Somethink like: alias cd="cd $@ && myfunction" $@ doesn't work there, and adding a backslash doesn't help. I'm also a little worried about messing with cd, and it would be nice if this worked for other commands which changed directory, like pushd and popd. A...
hi Could someone please recommend any software that can be used to create interactive CDROMs? we have a possible job whereby an interactive CD ROM with basic animation is required. Company information is to be placed in various "Pages", and if possible some kind of "catalogue system" for a lot of PDFs would be available. Any suggestio...
Hi I am wondering if there is a way, on Windows, to compute a MD5 checksum from a CD in order to verify that the CD has been burn properly from an ISO file. Thanks, Derek ...
Hi there, In the old VB6 days it was possible to embed the runtime onto a cd and run the app automatically when the CD was popped in without having to run through an installation. Is there anything available in .Net that mimics this? Thanks Jacques ...
hi what's the best way of porting a static HTML website to a CDROM, to allow users to insert the disk, copy the files off, and then run the site "offline", as it were. what sort of path structure should i use? at the moment all of the assets are like: file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/MySite/index.html which obviously isn't very portable...
