I am looking for a utility to burn a set of files to DVD unattended, presuming a blank DVD is inserted ahead of time. I am evaluating Nero Burning ROM and Nerocmd.

I am astounded at the incompetence of what is reputed to be the best burning utility.

There does not appear to be a way to specify the name of the compiliation on the command line. There does not appear to be any way to update the compliation from the command line. There does not appear to be a away to specify the secure feature (redundant extra info to aid recovery from disc damage). There does not appear to be a way to specify ISO dates yyyy-mm-dd in the title.

In fact there is almost no correspondence at all between the GUI and command line programs.

Am I missing something?

Not tried this (just a thought), have you considered MKISOFS (free - create ISO from a single folder and all contents) and IMGBURN (also free - not sure if command line)?

AFAIK, there is no Command Line facility/product to do "all of the magical things at once". Some kind of "prep work" has to be done first. Look at any GUI for the "features" (including "on the fly" options) - why would they (any commercial vendor) bother to insert all of these (probably a lengthy command line) into a command version? Even the Windows facility requires "drag-and-drop" before "burn compilation"...

A CMD script to "collect to folder"-> "create iso"->"burn iso"->"delete work files/folders" seems necessary in your case.

MS Burn an ISO - one might be led to believe that if it works for Vista, it may work for Win7...

As mkisofs is part of cdrtools package, you might want the lastest win32 binaries.

As for nerocmd i didn't find in the manual any option to do what you want. I think you should be able to use mkisofs to create the iso as you want (except the securdisc feature which is only licensed to nero) then write it with either cdrecord or nerocmd.
