Windows Media Player 11 SDK Starting the Burn Process 

Starting the Burn Process

Before burning can begin, you must assign a playlist to be burned. Use IWMPCdromBurn::put_burnPlaylist to specify a playlist for burning.

HRESULT CMainDlg::PutPlaylist (void)
{
    // Specify the burn playlist.   
    HRESULT hr = m_spCdromBurn->put_burnPlaylist(m_spPlaylist);

    // Update the status information.
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        hr = m_spCdromBurn->refreshStatus();
    }

    return hr;
}

For information about using playlists, see IWMPPlaylist.

To start the burning operation, call IWMPCdromBurn::startBurn.

// Start burning.
hr = m_spCdromBurn->startBurn();

You can stop the burning operation by calling IWMPCdromBurn::stopBurn.

// Stop burning.
hr = m_spCdromBurn->stopBurn();
