Hi,

PB makes it possible to use API calls. Is it also possible to call functions from the IMAPI (WinXP) for creating a burning program, see the following text from the Microsoft Site: "The Image Mastering API (IMAPI) allows an application to stage and burn a simple audio or data image to CD-R and CD-RW devices. The API supports the following formats: Redbook audio and data discs with both Joliet and ISO 9660. The architecture allows for future expansion of the supported format set."

When this is not the case, does anyone has some experience with a dll from XP which supports these functions?

The IMAPI Interface is OOP, so it is not that easy to access it from PB. Maybe it would be easier to search for some dll on the net that would let you do this.

It's not that difficult to use COM using CallCOM, you just need to know the order of the methods used, taking into account the inherited methods. In the case of IUnknown, three methods are inherited, so you just add 12 to the offset of each method of an interface that inherits directly from IUnknown. If you post the method calls you need to do, maybe we can help you with this.
