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 via command line (or within a batch file) as follows:
Vc[version]genwz.exe drive="Virtual burner" cdtype="Type", e.g. Vc10genwz.exe drive="Virtual burner" cdtype="Type" for Virtual CD v10.
"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:
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.
The parameters for Virtual CD v10 are listed in the Webhelp.
The parameter /comp creates a virtual blank disk with its size. This parameter requires a given name and path of the image. Please notet that the blank disk is renamed after burning anyway. The syntax for a blank Blu-Ray disk type R with default size would be:
[path to Virtual CD]\System\vc10genwz.exe [path to folder]\[name of the blank disk] cdType=112 /comp
As of Virtual CD 9.1 there are additional parameters:
You can also use the program within a Virtual 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:.
Note: The Command line parameters of the Blank Media Wizard does not create a folder automatically!
