How to write files to CD-R

[luigi]

Hi, does anyone know how to write files to a CD-R from VB? See that I say
to a CD-R, not to a CD-RW, because I cannot use UDF, I need to write a normal
(ISO) CD.

If it is a read-only CD, then obviously you cannot write to it. By any
means. That's why they are called "Read-Only".

Could R mean recordable?

CD-R is a recordable media (write once, or 'burn'). CD-RW is re-writable
media (write and erase many times).

Not long ago there was a similar question, either here or in the
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion group. Didn't pay muchg attention to
it, but the responses listed a couple of third-part OCXs that were well
thought of. Try searching the archives.

Probably easiest just to search for ActiveX components that will do this. Here is one:
