Nero has a commandline utility called NeroCMD.exe (not sure if you needed a free solution or not) Here's some sample code and write-up using NeroCMD.exe with Python: http://www.answermysearches.com/index.php/nerocmdexe-and-python-automating-the-burning-process/10/ -Greg On 5 Apr 2006 00:46:16 -0700, Tim Golden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Albert Leibbrandt wrote: Hi Can anybody tell me which windows API or python module they are using for writing cd's / dvd's with python?

CD Burning
Hi Can anybody tell me which windows API or python module they are using for writing cd's / dvd's with python? Thanks Albert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: CD Burning
Albert Leibbrandt enlightened us with: Can anybody tell me which windows API or python module they are using for writing cd's / dvd's with python? I'd install cygwin and use cdrecord. That seems the easiest way to go about burning disks to me. Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity.

Re: CD Burning
Hi, I used cdrecord, albeit on Linux, to do it. Someone already suggested to use Cygwin for that. I'll just drop a piece of code I wrote for getting the percentage of advance when recording sound, with cdrecord. Here it is (wraps cdrecord): #!/usr/bin/env python Canonizer: will open up a program and try to canonize its output. Output is program dependent (different information is needed) but always canonical (messages are one line long, and parsable through splitting) Currently only cdrecord will be implemented, but will be tailored for anything. Usage: canonizer.py myprogram and options import re import sys import os track_regexp = re.compile(r^Track\s+(\d+):\s+(\d+)\s+of\s+(\d+)) total_regexp = re.compile(r^Total size:\s+(\d+)) fixating_regexp = re.compile(r^Fixating\.) done_regexp = re.compile(r^Fixating time) def loop_cdrecord(filep): Loop over cdrecord's output mycharbuf = exitstatus = burning = 0 #progress in Mbytes progress = 0 newinterval = oldinterval = 0 while True: data = filep.read(1) if not data: return exitstatus mycharbuf+= data if mycharbuf.endswith(\n) or mycharbuf.endswith(\r): #sys.stdout.write(mycharbuf) #sys.stdout.flush() mycharbuf = mycharbuf[:-1] if not burning: try: totalsize = int(total_regexp.match(mycharbuf).group(1)) burning = 1 except: pass else: if (track_regexp.search(mycharbuf)): reobj = track_regexp.match(mycharbuf) mytrack, mynum, mydem = reobj.group(1, 2, 3) oldinterval = newinterval newinterval = int(mynum) if (oldinterval = newinterval): progress += newinterval - oldinterval else: oldinterval = 0 print CAN_PERCENT = %d%((progress*98)/totalsize) elif (fixating_regexp.search(mycharbuf)): print CAN_PERCENT = %d%(98) print CAN_FIXATING elif (done_regexp.search(mycharbuf)): progress = 100 print CAN_PERCENT = %d%(100) exitstatus = ok print CAN_DONE sys.stdout.flush() mycharbuf = commandline = #for i in sys.argv: #print i #Get the intended commandline for i in sys.argv[1:]: commandline += + i pipe_filep = os.popen (commandline, r) exitstatus = loop_cdrecord(pipe_filep) if (exitstatus != ok): print CAN_ERROR -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
cd burning
i was wondering if there had been any recent development of python modules that enables cd writing capabilities. specifically, i'm looking to produce audio cds from ogg files on a win32 envrionment. any leads will be greatly appreciated... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: cd burning
I am hopeing something has developed myself. I have been waiting awhile. I simply don't want to use cdrecord or cdrdao. If I had the know how I would be working on it but I believe this is a massive undertaking and rather hard to accomplish. I do hope this happens very soon though. Libburn might be of some use to you? I know FreeBSD compiled some binding for python but the main libburn site only seems to officially have ruby binding atm. http://icculus.org/burn/. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
