DRTrackEstimateLength
Asks the track producer for a block size estimate.
DRTrackGetProperties
Returns the properties of the track.
DRTrackGetTypeID
Returns the Core Foundation type identifier of all DRTrack instances.

DRTrackCreate


Creates a new track object.

extern DRTrackRef DRTrackCreate(
    CFDictionaryRef properties,
    DRTrackCallbackProc callback) ;  
Parameters
properties
A CFDictionary object containing the track properties. If this parameter is not a valid CFDictionary object the behavior is undefined.
callback
A pointer to a DRTrackCallbackProc callback. If this callback is NULL the behavior is undefined.
Return Value

A reference to the new DRTrack object.

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.2

DRTrackEstimateLength


Asks the track producer for a block size estimate.

extern UInt64 DRTrackEstimateLength(
    DRTrackRef track) ;  
Parameters
track
The track to query.
Return Value

The size of the track in blocks.

Discussion

This function calls the track producer to ask it to estimate the block size needed for its data. This call is passed through to the DRTrackCallbackProc track production callback as kDRTrackMessageEstimateLength .

For some types of tracks, this call may be very expensive. For example, a file system track (DRFilesystemTrack ) may need to iterate through folders on disk to provide an accurate estimate. If a large number of files and folders are involved, this call may take 30 seconds or more. Since your main thread should not block for this long, you may wish to call this function on a separate thread.

The return value is the size in blocks that is specified in the track's properties dictionary.

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.3.

DRTrackGetProperties


Returns the properties of the track.

extern CFDictionaryRef DRTrackGetProperties(
    DRTrackRef track) ;  
Parameters
track
The track whose properties will be retrieved. If this parameter is not a valid DRTrack object, the behavior is undefined.
Return Value

A CFMutableDictionary object containing the track properties.

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.2

DRTrackGetTypeID


Returns the Core Foundation type identifier of all DRTrack instances.

extern CFTypeID DRTrackGetTypeID(
    void) ;  

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.2

DRTrackSetProperties


Sets the properties of the track.

extern void DRTrackSetProperties(
    DRTrackRef track,
    CFDictionaryRef properties) ;  
Parameters
track
The track whose properties will be set. If this parameter is not a valid DRTrack object, the behavior is undefined.
properties
A CFDictionary object containing the track properties. If this parameter is not a valid CFDictionary object the behavior is undefined.

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.2

DRTrackSpeedTest


Tests the speed at which data can be produced.

extern float DRTrackSpeedTest(
    DRTrackRef track,
    UInt32 howManyMilliseconds,
    UInt32 howManyBytes) ;  
Parameters
track
The track to test.
howManyMilliseconds
The maximum duration for the test production cycle. The test may not run for the full requested duration if the byte limit is reached first. If this parameter is 0, the result is undefined.
howManyBytes
The maximum number of bytes of data the client should produce before completing the test. The test may not produce the requested number of bytes if the time limit is reached first. If this parameter is 0, the result is undefined.
Return Value

The maximum throughput obtained during the test cycle.

Discussion

Runs a test track-production cycle, calling the produceData callback for the specified number of milliseconds or until the specified number of bytes have been produced, whichever comes first.

Use this function to verify that the produceData callback can produce data fast enough to satisfy the data throughput requirements of the burn.

This function will automatically set a value for the kDRMaxBurnSpeedKey key in the track's properties dictionary, with a value equal to the return result.

Constants


kDRAudioFourChannelKey


extern const CFStringRef kDRAudioFourChannelKey;  
Discussion

Optional key. For CD-DA audio tracks only. This track property key corresponds to a CFBoolean value indicating whether the track data has four channels, as opposed to the two channels of normal stereo. If this key is not present, the engine will use a default value of false and standard two-channel stereo is assumed.

Four-channel audio is supported in the Red Book standard but never caught on. It is probably being replaced by SACD, so you probably shouldn't attempt to use it.

On the disc, this key corresponds to bit 3 of the control field in sub-channel Q.

Introduced in Mac OS X v10.3.

kDRAudioPreEmphasisKey


extern const CFStringRef kDRAudioPreEmphasisKey;  
Discussion

Optional key. For CD-DA audio tracks only. This track property key corresponds to a CFBoolean value indicating whether the track includes pre-emphasis of 50/15 microseconds. If this key is not present, the engine will use a default value of false. On the disc, this key corresponds to bit 0 of the control field in sub-channel Q.

Availability
Introduced in Mac OS X v10.3.

kDRMaxBurnSpeedKey


extern const CFStringRef kDRMaxBurnSpeedKey;  
Discussion

Optional key. This track property key corresponds to a CFNumber object containing the maximum sustained rate at which your application will request data from the track callback, in units of kilobytes per second where 1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes.

The value for kDRMaxBurnSpeedKey must be greater than the drive's minimum burn speed. It is usually safe to specify the appropriate flavor of 1x (kDRDeviceBurnSpeedCD1x or kDRDeviceBurnSpeedDVD1x ), but some drives cannot slow all the way down to 1x.

Given the capabilities of the drive, the bus, and the recordable disc, the burn speed used when writing a layout will generally be the highest data rate possible that is less than or equal to the value of kDRMaxBurnSpeedKey for every track, as well as less than or equal to the value of the kDRBurnRequestedSpeedKey key for the burn object.

When this key is not present, the requested maximum sustained data rate defaults to a value of infinity. In this case, the Disc Recording engine assumes that your track callback can produce data at any rate requested.

Subchannel data is returned from the producer in the same production method that produces normal user data. Normally a producer returns user data in chunks of DRBlockSizeKey size. When subchannel data is also produced, the producer is expected to return user data of DRBlockSizeKey in length with an additonal 96 bytes of subchannel data. Depending on the data form specified in this key, the format of this 96 bytes is either in raw or pack format. When subchannel data is requested from the producer, the DRFlagSubchannelDataRequested flag is set in the flags parameter of producePreGapForTrack:intoBuffer:length:atAddress:blockSize:ioFlags: or produceDataForTrack:intoBuffer:length:atAddress:blockSize:ioFlags: and blockSize is increased by 96 bytes.

Parameters
track
The track with this callback is associated.
message
Indicates the type of data requested as one of the constants in the Track Messages enumeration.
ioParam
Parameters are message-specific.
Return Value
