The AudioCD functions are good - it would be great to have CD/DVD write functions too.

there is this answer in stackoverflow for a windows API call which looks simple enough:

Of course, I haven't grasped the complexity
EDIT:
It was not that simple. You need to add <imapi.h> which is installed with microsoft SDK
Sorry.

Hi normeus - yeah, there are two or three posts using Windows API, but really we want a cross-platform lib.

Don't you mean CD/DVD/Blu-Ray?

Good Point, certainly should be included and is possibly a variation of DVD methods (I don't know).
For my use, only interested in CD and DVD for archiving data files - Saving data on Blue-Ray for 10 years or more is currently unproven, so risking critical data storage on that media not a good idea, but various labs/universities and most notably NIST are conducting long-term testing.
