Available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux, the AuthorScript Storage SDKs allow application developers and service providers to quickly integrate powerful capabilities for recording, copying, and archiving to recordable/rewritable BD, DVD, and CD media. Covering file structure creation and management, file reading and writing, device control, and output to either optical media or disc image, AuthorScript Storage is a full-featured solution ideal for both one-off and industrial-scale applications.
AuthorScript Storage SDKs offer the following key advantages over competing disc-burning solutions:
- Reliability:
- 24/7 uptime assurance (no machine lock ups)
- device access protection shields operations in progress from outside interference
- Performance:
- multiple threads on a single process allow concurrent burns to different devices
- file system is cached, then flushed in one sequential write, avoiding incremental updates
- native 32-bit and 64-bit binaries
- Real-Time To Disc (RTTD):
- record direct to disc in real time (streaming)
- write to a file without knowing total data size in advance
- Entry-based mastering:
- write either complete directories or individual files
- use callbacks to control timing and flow of data transfer
- File system control:
- create and manipulate file system objects
- easily migrate products based on standard file system calls
- Device support:
- SilentSelect™ automatically supports new optical devices without ongoing application maintenance
- Multiple language support:
- native C++ interface
- managed .NET interface for C#, J#, and Visual Basic
- Java interface
- Built-in diagnostics:
- bus tracing and logging
- API tracing and logging
