Command line parameters of the Blank Media Wizard
The wizard for blank media can create virtual blank media over the command line.
With the Virtual CD API it is not possible to create blank virtual disks, but you can create blank virtual disk with the command line as follows:
Vc8genwz.exe drive="Virtual burner" cdtype="Type" (Virtual CD v8) resp. Vc9genwz.exe drive="Virtual burner" cdtype="Type" (Virtual CD v9)
"Virtual burner" specifies which virtual burner drive the blank disk is to be automatically inserted into after it is created. "Type" indicates the type of blank disk to be created:
- 0 - DVD-R
- 1 - DVD+R
- 2 - DVD+R DL
- 3 - DVD-RAM
- 4 - CD-R 700MB
- 5 - CD-R 650MB
- 6 - CD-R 600MB
Here it is not possible to provide a name for the blank disk. The new blank disk is always created with a default name which is numbered consecutively if the name already exists. Afterwards a dialog appears that confirms that the blank disk has been created.
As of Virtual CD 9.1 there are additional parameters:
- The parameter "image name.vc8" which allows to specify the file name of the virtual blank disk.
- The parameter /quiet suppresses all messages except errors.
NOTE: When you use this parameter, existing images will be overwritten automatically!
You can also use the program within a Virual CD Script or Job.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Virtual CD v9\System\vc9genwz.exe" "C:\Virtual CDs\test.vc8" drive=Z: cdtype=6 creates a CD-R 600MB named 'test' and inserts it into drive Z:.
Hint: The Command line parameters of the Blank Media Wizard does not create a folder automatically!
