Yeah- being able to have an api that got the disc id without anydvd changing it would be very useful.
Well, the duplicator is just a Win32 application that runs on 2K/XPem/XP/2003. It talks to the firewire drives just like any other application (I assume via SPTI). It also talks to the robot arm which is on COM1 or COM2. Mostly, this appears to be a software incompatibility issue. I haven't retested since then. If there's any way for me to perform the test with some sort of debugging or log file generation in AnyDVD, I'll try it again. -brendan
