c_shelswell Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi I'm not even sure if this is possible, i can think of lots of reasons why it wouldn't be but.... A client has asked if it would be possible to have a divx file link in a web site that when a user clicks the link it would automatically request a dvd in the drive then burn the dvd. Is this possible? I thought it would involve too many variables of different users with different software. Any ideas would be great thanks.

.josh Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 maybe if you were to make an activeX or java applet, but not with php or even js. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/115275-burn-dvd-straight-from-a-web-link/#findComment-592648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibberous Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 ActiveX can burn in hell. Agreed. Why don't you make an AIR application that installs a program?

c_shelswell Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi sorry I've been away for a while. What's an AIR application? I don't think the guy'll go for it, it sounds like a major pain in the arse. Especially to ensure it works on a whole load of different platforms/setups.

tibberous Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 AIR is Adobe's runtime environment - and yeah, it's a pain in the ass. In five years, when AIR is pretty well adopted, it will be a lot less of a hassle.
