Oozer, Damien and Marz used our newssubmit to tell us that there is an UI component that allows to use CD-Recording capabilities of Windows XP® to record ISO images and copy CD to CD '“ a piece of functionality missing in Windows XP®. It is called ISO Recorder.
The ISO Recorder itself does not record CDs but instead uses existing OS features. Some of the interfaces it uses are not fully documented by Microsoft and as such are subject to change in the future.
Release history: |
1.0 (11/10/01) First "open" release.
New features:
Known problems
1. Insufficient error handling. There are potentially situations when ISO Recorder can crash. This will be addressed in the future releases
2. No 'in-place copy". Although there should be no problem with copying CD using the recorder drive as both source and destination, this scenario is not yet supported. It is planned to be supported in the future
3. Canceling the recording process takes a long time, sometimes several minutes. This is an inherent problem. It appears that standard XP recording component just works like that.
This software works on Windows XP only . It was tested with retail build of Windows XP (Home and Professional).
