Hi
I'm looking for a free and simple burning software. Not bloated please.
What I really need is to make the burning task more automated, such as creating a text file with the paths to files to be burnt. Such as:
Code:
C:\Desktop\file1.txt
C:\Desktop\file2.txt
C:\music\stupidmusic.mp3
.
.
.

I mean, an utility that reads this txt file with the content to burn then use the preset configuration to burn. Maybe a command line utility.

The idea is to have this list be built by ahk comands such as FileAppend and then keep those texts files, which are easier to be searched for what I have burnt in the past.

I think there is at least one around. Thanks!

OMG this seems to be so pure its difficult to learn, plus the documentation is not very clear. But I smell a decent application. So, for the purpose above, which one of those executables and the associated html file should I use/read?

CommandBurner appears to be more friendly though.

And thanks for the ideas you gave me so far!

CDR TOols is great. I am using it since I have seen it here. Using one of the frontends atm, but its good to know its command line driven if you need it in scripts.

I also highly recommend http://www.imgburn.com/

The problem is that I can't begin to understand how to operate with CDRTools... I picked the executable by name, hoping it to intuitively give me the function I need, then I tried looking at the documentation.... appears complicated or not very well detailed for me. ( :oops: )

I use imgburn too, but didn't know there is a command line functionality in it.

I'll check. So far, Cmdburn appears to be the way to go.

Use frontend to grasp its functionality (cdrtfe-1.3.6portable).

BTW, I didn't say ImgBurn has CLI and I very much doubt so. I just think its a good burning tool given its size, features etc...

Actually, ImgBurn has very full command-line support. You can run imgburn.exe /? to get a brief list of commands, and the readme.txt in the install directory lists them fully. (Or it did - I haven't downloaded it in a while, but that's how it is in the version I have.)

I haven't tried some of these others mentioned, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to do better than ImgBurn.

Sorry that my native language isn't English, but I didn't get that part.

Now I read the imgburn documentation, it appears to be satisfactory.

What I added to my script was:

Code:
; IMGBURN
; Win+Ctrl+I
#^i::Run C:\Arquivos de programas\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe

; IMGBURN COMMAND LINE
:*:iburnb::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime, ,dd-MM-yyyy__HH-mm-ss
send imgburn /dest G /speed 2x /verify yes /start /log "imgburnlog-build__%CurrentDateTime%" /mode build /volumelabel "" /src ""{left}
return

:*:iburno::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime, ,dd-MM-yyyy__HH-mm-ss
send imgburn /dest G /speed 8x /start /log "imgburnlog-olavo__%CurrentDateTime%" /mode write /volumelabel "True Outspeak %CurrentDateTime%" /src "D:\Olavo\radio do olavo.cue"
return

:*:iburnw::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime, ,dd-MM-yyyy__HH-mm-ss
send imgburn /dest G /speed 4x /verify yes /start /log "imgburnlog-write__%CurrentDateTime%" /mode write /src "%Clipboard%" /volumelabel ""
Sleep, 200
send {end}{left}
return


This is intended to make it faster to type in the command line parameters. Still, I'm not sure how to get this done: I have multipole files in different locations, even different drives, and I'd like to write a plain text file in which I would add, line by line, the filepaths of the files to be added to the compilation. Such as:

Code:
list.txt
D:\Testes\torar\1a.txt
D:\Testes\torar\sub4\notas1.html
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Ad-Aware.lnk
.
.
.
(and so on)


Any ideas?

I don't have the time right now to help with this question, but if I understand what you want to do, it's pretty straight-forward. Best to post in the Help forum though, where more people will see it and I'm sure be willing to help.
