I understand, it would be a huge project, which is why i could never code
it myself. I need more developers. I cannot code every project myself.
Which is why i wanted help with this. But, if nessasary i will try to code one

I won't use nero. The user has to have nero installed for it to work
Duh, what is the point in that. Anyway, i am going with some free alternatives
like DeepBurner and such to see if they will make an open source library
for freeware developers like me.

Anyway, thanks

Does the dll require the user to install nero on their harddrive?
cause all i want is to create a cd burning plugin for my Media player.
Audio CD's is all it needs to do. I did se the other topics, but i was wondering
if anyone had new information about it.

Thanks

Just wondering if anybody has tried to write cd burning software in PB
I think it could be kinda fun to try. But i don't even know where to begin.
does anybody have any ideas? I guess i would have to write a device driver
huh? I hope not. I don't want to use 3rd party dlls or controls and stuff. But ...

I understand.
I new it had to be faster, I just didn't now how fast
doing these tests showed some incredible results!

I just had to find out for my self

These huge runtime dll's that microsoft has is one of the biggest
(pardon the pun) reasons I switched to PB. I love PB.

Later

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I think I said I was making a mistake.
I wanted someone to show me what I was doing wrong :)

I just started PureBasic not too long ago, I'm still learning. I was intending

Thanks, but I did get it to work.
I just used StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
did stuff with image then
StopDrawing()

StartDrawing(WindowOutput())
DrawImage(ect...
StopDrawing()

It works like a charm now

There is another image covering the whole form. Can I paint over that
with WindowOutput? or would I have to include the whole image as part
of the spectrum (ack!)

I tried doing something like:


UseImage(#SKIN_VISUAL)
StartDrawing(ImageOutput())
;Clear
Box(0,0,ImageWidth(),ImageHeight(),RGB(0,0,0))

lVal = 511 / ImageWidth() * X
;lVal = X / ImageWidth()
LineXY(lVal,ImageHeight(),lVal,ImageHeight() - fSpectrum(X) * ImageHeight(),RGB ...
