you should :
1 - Learn to use ASPI.dll (wich is basically a way to send ATAPI commands to the device).
2 - Learn ATAPI commands (ATAPI is more or less SCSI commands sent over SATA/PATA layer).

Take a look at:
http://blog.delphi-jedi.net/2009/07/18/im-burning-baby/
Porting to FPC/Lazarus (if any) should be straightforward.

If you think in the future your app must work in another OSes, maybe a better solution is to use cdrecord, it has everything you need (CD, DVD, BluRay) . Here's the Win32 version http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/
We run it using TProcess, then parse the results and show them on screen.

Well, thanks... but I want something already works with FPC, if is possible.

I do not know what I can do with this code. There are just 4 procedures/funcition...

Yeah, I saw this before. This code uses JEDI so, maybe works with \packages\winunits-jedi\src sources.

Interesting. Could you give an example how do you use it, please? You do not translated the headers, just use the binaries, rigth?

cdrecord is generally well-regarded in terms of the number of different drives etc. it supports, but I've always found (on Linux) that it needs a bit of nursing when scanning and selecting available devices. Also there are issues with e.g. Debian forking the project and applying patches which weren't approved by the original author.
Frankly, I think that I'd settle for building a .iso image, and rely on the user having his own software which is known to be compatible with his hardware.

I don't have a small example, but basically the process is very simple.
First, you need to create an ISO image with mkisofs, part of the CDRtools bundle, then use "cdrecord -scanbus" to get a list of drives, and the last step is to use cdrecord to burn the ISO image into the drive.
Regarding the 2nd question, I just use the binaries.

Thanks for these tips.

Today I'm back to this problem.
I downloaded the CDRtools (it need cygwin too).
I burned the files on the CD-R... very good!
But I still have a problem:
The CD or DVD will have many files so, recording may take much time. How do you show to user the progress?

CDRtfe is a gui front-end for cdrecord written in Delphi. You can find the sources here http://cdrtfe.sourceforge.net/cdrtfe/source_en.html. I appears they show the output of cdrecord in a TMemo. When you launch cdrecord with -v you get the progress in %.

I will see, thanks.
To read the Output, I think is better to use this tutorial: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Executing_External_Programs#Reading_large_output

Yes. You want to read the output continuously and display it as soon as there is new data.
