“A day in the life of an Opus user” – by Gus Wrethman

Or. "How to create a Directory Opus custom toolbar for Nero Burning ROM."

Why Create an Opus Toolbar to drive Nero?

The rationale behind the bank is a simple one. Nero is acknowledged by many as being one of the best overall CD authoring packages, yet it is let down (like many Windows programs) by a static interface. If Nero's interface was configurable, it would improve the program greatly.

So, why not take Nero's engine, and then add the most configurable program that ever existed on the Windows platform, namely Opus, and meld them together? You decide how you want your CD 'front end' to work and look!

What does the Toolbar do?

As it stands, the toolbar provides a basic interface to control Nero. There is not even any need to open Nero directly to perform these functions! The buttons are presented in a logical order.

CD Info: Determine number of audio tracks (mainly) as well as other esoteric info that may be of use to some.

  • Erase CD: Erases a CDRW, LMB=quick RMB=full

  • Open Tray: Opens the tray

  • Close Tray: Closes the tray

  • Burn CD: Select file/s dir/s and hit BURN. It is that simple. Basic sanity checking is performed, so you won't trash CDs when you try to burn 720 MB to a 700 MB CD.

  • Burn Audio: Select MP3 and/or WAV files, hit Burn Audio. MP3s are converted on the fly. Again, basic sanity checking is performed.

  • Burn ISO: Select an ISO image, (MUST have .ISO extension!) hit Burn ISO. Viola! It is there;-)

  • Rip Track: Rips individual audio tracks and saves them as .WAV files.

  • Template: Brings up a DOS box that displays the NeroCmd template. (see the SDK docs for FULL documentation)

In any case, if you are smart enough to edit/add to these buttons, you are smart enough to know how to redirect the output of NeroCmd to a text file.

So, let's move on to see how this toolbar was created...
