OS Requirements 

  • Windows XP SP2
  • Mac OS X 10.4
  • Ubuntu Linux 9.10

 

Runtime Dependencies 

  • Ubuntu: libhal, libdbus, libspeexdsp

 

Samples Requirements 

 

The samples provided with PrimoBurner may need additional tools/libraries to be built. 

 

  • Windows

 

PrimoBurner samples come with solutions and projects for VS 2005, VS 2008 and VS 2010. The AudioBurner, BluRayBurner, DataBurner, DataBurnerEx, DiscCopy, DVDBurner GUI samples use MFC as shared dll. 

 

  • Mac OS X

 

All samples have XCode 2.x and XCode 3.x projects. The AudioBurner, BluRayBurner, DiscCopy, DVDBurner GUI samples use the Qt framework. QtCore and QtGui libraries are already included under the lib/Frameworks folder. 

 

  • Ubuntu Linux

 

The AudioBurner, BluRayBurner, DiscCopy and DVDBurner samples have NetBeans "C/C++ Qt Application"projects. To use these projects you need NetBeans IDE with C/C++ add-on. The Netbeans IDE is available in the Synaptic Package Manager or directly from http://netbeans.org/downloads. 

 

In addition, the AudioBurner, BluRayBurner, DiscCopy and DVDBurner samples use QT4 and require libqt4-dev. The libqt4-dev package is available in the Synaptic Package Manager and can be installed from terminal by running: "sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev". The latest QT framework can be downloaded from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads. 

 

To run the 32 bit samples on Ubuntu 64 bit, you will need the ia32-lib package. The ia32-lib package is available in the Synaptic Package Manager and can be installed from terminal by running: "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs".

#include "hpCDE.h" 

using namespace primo::burner;

  • 539: Partially formatted DVD+RW is reported as blank.

 

 

Version 2.07 

 

New Features

Fixes 

  • As of this release support for HFS has been discontinued.

  • The IDataFile::AddItem method does not copy the IDataFile object passed in the parameter any more. Instead it uses the supplied pointer directly and increments an internal reference counter to keep track of the instance. This may affect existing logic which counted on DataFile copying all data into a new object.

  • PrimoBurner now supports Mac OS X 10.3 and later.

 

Fixes 

  • ISSUE1934: Unreadable characters resulting from IDataDisc::LoadFromDisc method when image on disc is ISO9660:1999.

 

 

Version 1.99 

 

New Features 

  • Added IDevice::GetReadPossible method. It allows you to detect whether the device reads CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Apparently some of the new Blu-ray burners do not read CDs which required the addition of this method.
  • Modified IDevice19::GetSupportedWriteSpeeds to return the maximum write speed instead of empty collection when devices do not report any write speed descriptors.

 

Fixes 

  • ISSUE1489: DVD-RW media detected as not blank on some NEC drives. The reason is the device reports more free space than the disc capacity.
  • ISSUE1490: IBlockDevice does not finalize properly DVD-RW formatted for Restricted Overwrite. That may cause DVD-RW to be unreadable by some DVD-ROM devices.

 

 

Version 1.98 

 

New Features 

  • New IScsiInterface class that can be used to send SCSI command description blocks directly to a device. For more details see IDevice19::GetScsiInterface method.
  • Enhanced read and write speed control. There is a new method of IDevice19 called GetSupportedWriteSpeeds. It returns a collection of speed descriptors for all write speeds supported by a device.

 

Fixes 

  • ISSUE1337: Unhandled exception on Windows Vista BETA2 CTP Builds 5270 and 5308.

 

 

Version 1.96 

 

New Features 

  • Added two new property-methods to the IDevice19 interface to allow getting the format and erase progress without implementing IDeviceCallback13. The new methods are Get/SetEraseProgress and Get/SetFormatProgress.

 

Fixes 

  • BUG: File time of existing folders changes to the current date when deleting folders from an existing CD/DVD layout.
  • BUG: File time of the special "." and ".." files is not set to the date of the corresponding folders from the disc layout.
  • BUG: When burning DVD Video folders and if padding is required between some file the engine attempts to burn the padding sectors twice. This results in intermittent errors when burning DVD video on DVD-RW and DVD-R in Disc-At-Once mode.

 

Fixes 

  • BUG: Filetime not preserved when burning data layouts loaded from CD or DVD.
  • BUG: Application hangs during DVD session finalization on Samsung and LG burners.

 

 

Version 1.94 

 

Fixes 

  • BUG: DVD writing speed defaults to 4x. Affected devices were HP, NEC and Sony DVD+RW/-RW burners.
  • BUG: IDevice reports the burning has completed in the middle of session closing or while writing disc lead out. This affects HP burners when using CD-R/RW media. It does not happen with DVD media.

 

 

Version 1.93 

 

New Features 

  • Improved power calibration logic for CD-R/RW. Optimum Power Calibration (OPC) is now performed, only when a device reports that it needs OPC. Otherwise OPC step is skipped. That leads to improved burning start (10~20 sec faster). It should lead to longer life of CD-RWs too.

 

Fixes 

  • BUG: DataBurnerEx sample does not set the file time when creating the image file structure. That was causing problems with some programs like some DICOM viewers (more specifically ezDicom.exe) that rely on the file having valid date time stamps.

 

 

Version 1.92 

 

New Features 

  • Support for Unicode projects.
  • Enhanced multi-threading.

 

Fixes 

 

The 64-Bit installer required Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 mixed dependencies between .NET and C++ editions. This is now fixed and the installer for the C++ edition does not require .net framework 2.0 anymore. 

 

 

Version 1.91 

 

New Features 

 

  • Added a new method to the IDevice interface for enabling/disabling media change notifications.

 

Fixes 

  • There was a problem with the reference counting in IEngine implementation when used in multiple threads. A bug has been introduced with the 1.7x releases and apparently has been flying under the radar since then. It is now fixed.

 

 

Version 1.81 

 

New Features 

  • Added ability to set volume creation time for data images. See the SetVolumeCreationTime and GetVolumeCreationTime methods of the IDataDisc18 interface. This feature works for Joliet, ISO and Joliet-ISO images.
  • Improved loading of third party UDF images both from image file and from disc.
  • Added the SetLicenseInfo method to the IEngine interface. The method can be used to set customer license information.
  • Burning on DVD+RW allows physical overwriting of files already on the disc. This behavior can be controlled with the new SetDataOverwrite method of the IDataDisc interface. This feature is supported only on DVD+RW currently. Future releases will include support also for Restricted Overwrite DVD-RW.
  • Added the WriteUnlockBufferEx method to the IDevice interface. This new method allows specifying the disc address to which the data blocks in the buffer should be written. This method must be used with caution and requires good understanding of the DVD physical format and specifications.

 

Fixes 

  • IDataDisc::Dismount functionality got broken in 1.80. Now it is fixed.

 

 

Version 1.80 

 

New Features 

  • Added 64-Bit sample projects (x64 architectures only) and binaries. The 64-Bit libraries were compiled with Visual Studio 2005 64-Bit. 64-Bit binaries for Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Visual Studio 6.0 will be available in one of the releases following 1.80.
  • Added Visual Studio 2005 32-Bit sample projects.
  • Added IMG_TYPE_UNKNOWN = 0x0000 to EImageType enumeration.

 

Fixes 

  • Updated the DataBurnerEx sample to handle also DVD media.
  • 32-Bit binaries will now work on 64-Bit platform as well.
