Reading and Writing to a DVD/CD - Java


I'm working on a application called LMCT(Let Me Copy That) and it is programed in Java, I just need to know how to burn to a DVD/CD from java.

any example, API or link is welcome.


Solution

  • I've done this using COM4J and IMAPI (works on Windows only).

    This sample code burns an ISO file using the first CD recording device in the system:

    File isoFile = new File("myimage.iso");
    
    IDiscMaster2 dm = ClassFactory.createMsftDiscMaster2();
    int count = dm.count();
    
    //Pick the first recorder on the system
    String recorderUniqueId = null;
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        String cur = dm.item(i);
        recorderUniqueId = cur;
    }
    
    IDiscRecorder2 recorder = ClassFactory.createMsftDiscRecorder2();
    recorder.initializeDiscRecorder(recorderUniqueId);
    System.out.println("Using recorder: " + recorder.vendorId() + " " + recorder.productId());
    
    IIsoImageManager imageManager = StreamClassFactory.createMsftIsoImageManager();
    imageManager.setPath(isoFile.getAbsolutePath());
    imageManager.validate();
    System.out.println("ISO Validation successful: " + isoFile.getAbsolutePath());
    
    IDiscFormat2DataExt discData = ClassFactoryExt.createMsftDiscFormat2Data();
    discData.recorder(recorder);
    discData.clientName(IsoMan.class.getSimpleName());
    int mediaStatus = discData.currentMediaStatusExt();
    System.out.println("Media status: " + mediaStatus);
    if ((mediaStatus & IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE.IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE_WRITE_PROTECTED.comEnumValue()) != 0)
        throw new RuntimeException("Media is write protected / not empty.");
    
    //Check if disc is empty
    int addr = discData.nextWritableAddress();
    if (addr != 0)
        throw new RuntimeException("Disc is not empty, not writing.");
    
    IStream isoStream = imageManager.stream();
    
    System.out.println("Writing CD");
    discData.write(isoStream);
    System.out.println("Finished writing");
    

    I had to supplement the COM4J generated classes a bit because the generator didn't do a perfect job:

    /**
     * Defines methods to create COM objects
     */
    public abstract class ClassFactoryExt {
        private ClassFactoryExt() {} // instanciation is not allowed
    
        /**
         * Microsoft IMAPIv2 Data Writer
         */
        public static com.ms.imapi2.IDiscFormat2DataExt createMsftDiscFormat2Data() {
            return COM4J.createInstance( com.ms.imapi2.IDiscFormat2DataExt.class, "{2735412A-7F64-5B0F-8F00-5D77AFBE261E}" );
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Data Writer
     */
    @IID("{27354153-9F64-5B0F-8F00-5D77AFBE261E}")
    public interface IDiscFormat2DataExt extends com.ms.imapi2.IDiscFormat2Data {
        /**
         * The state (usability) of the current media
         */
        @VTID(18)
        //com.ms.imapi2.IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE currentMediaStatus();
        int currentMediaStatusExt();
    }
    
    /**
     * Defines methods to create COM objects
     */
    public abstract class StreamClassFactory {
        private StreamClassFactory() {} // instanciation is not allowed
    
    
        /**
         * Boot options
         */
        public static com.ms.imapi2.IBootOptions createBootOptions() {
            return COM4J.createInstance( com.ms.imapi2.IBootOptions.class, "{2C941FCE-975B-59BE-A960-9A2A262853A5}" );
        }
    
        /**
         * File system image
         */
        public static com.ms.imapi2.IFileSystemImage3 createMsftFileSystemImage() {
            return COM4J.createInstance( com.ms.imapi2.IFileSystemImage3.class, "{2C941FC5-975B-59BE-A960-9A2A262853A5}" );
        }
    
        /**
         * Microsoft IMAPIv2 Iso Image Manager
         */
        public static com.ms.imapi2.IIsoImageManager createMsftIsoImageManager() {
            return COM4J.createInstance( com.ms.imapi2.IIsoImageManager.class, "{CEEE3B62-8F56-4056-869B-EF16917E3EFC}" );
        }
    }
