AuthorScript^® Storage SDK

AuthorScript Storage is provided as a set of C++ libraries that enable the functionality needed at each level for effective volume/file creation, management, and output:

Volumes:

• open existing on-disc volumes
• create new volumes
• read file structure information (mount volume)
• set volume format (ISO, UDF 1.02, UDF 2.0, etc.)
• flush updated volume file structures to disc

Entries and files:

• create file structure entries (directories and files), including references to files from streams or stored on hard drive
• read from and write to files
• get entry information and get/set entry properties
• delete entries

Devices:

• manage devices, including counting, selection, and settings
• get device state and get/set properties of devices and media
• copy from one drive to one or more others
• copy from drives to disc images, and vice versa
• burn volumes to devices containing recordable/rewritable BD, DVD, or CD media
• execute commands such as media erasure and tray control

Advanced features:

• prepare output of higher-level logical formats (e.g. BDAV, BDMV, DVD-Video, CD-Audio) to hard drive as image formats, including DDP, CMF, ISO, and GI
• create specification-compliant disc layouts with each element in its correct logical sector
• utilize three available volume access modes, each tailored to different use scenarios: ReadOnly, Mastering, or RTTD
• utilize all major write modes, including Session-at-Once (SAO or DAO), Track-at-Once (TAO), and Test Mode
