OverviewData CD/DVD
Note: CDs are published
in Joliet format. Joliet is a more common format among Windows users because
it supports file and directory names of up to 64 characters. It also allows
characters which are more favorable to the long filename conventions of
Windows. Joliet also has no restrictions on directory tree depth or path
size. We recommend including Joliet for Window's users.
To prevent pathing errors, file names and folder names should be limited
to 64 characters in length. If they are longer, they will be truncated
causing runtime errors.
Note: CD/DVD burning is currently not supported on Windows Vista in AutoPlay Media Studio. This issue will be addressed in a future service release. Instead, choose the Hard Drive Folder option and burn the files using your favorite burning software.
The drive you want to use to burn your CD-R/CD-RW or DVD±R/DVD±RW. Click the select button to choose an available drive.
The filename you want for your AutoPlay application executable. This is what the executable file will be named after it is built.
Note: If you have the Enable AutoPlay Feature selected, the executable filename cannot contain spaces.
The volume identifier to use for the CD/DVD-ROM. This is the name that Windows will use to identify the CD/DVD.
Select this option if you want AutoPlay Media Studio to burn the autorun.inf file for you.
Windows searches for the autorun.inf file whenever you insert a CD/DVD into a CD/DVD-ROM drive. The file tells Windows what program to run if the user has autorun enabled on their system. AutoPlay Media Studio will automatically configure the file to launch your AutoPlay application.
Stamp the files being burned with the current date and time.
If this option is enabled, the CD/DVD image will be created in a temporary directory first, and then the image will be written to the disc from the temporary file. If you are writing from a network location, including many smaller files (under 1K), or using a slower system, this setting is recommended to help avoid buffer underrun errors.
Note: Using this feature can result in usage of up to 800MB of temporary hard drive space.
This option prevents the write operation from being aborted if a buffer underrun is encountered. A buffer underrun occurs when your computer cannot keep up with the steady stream of data it needs to supply while burning your CD. If the supply of data from your computer is interrupted long enough for the CD writer's internal buffer to be emptied, the burn process will fail. Newer drives typically provide some form of "burn proof" technology that allows the burn process to continue after a buffer underrun.
Note: Some CD writers do not employ any burn proof technology. If your drive does not, the Use Burn Proof option will be disabled.
