Creating a CD/DVD

With Zinc™ v2, you can burn your final Application and associated files directly to CD or DVD (Windows Version Only) without the need for external software. To burn a CD or DVD, your system must be equipped with a CD-Writer/Re-Writer or DVD-Writer/Re-Writer. Zinc™ v2 is compatible with most internal and external CD/DVD Writers.

Step 1 - Create a CD Structure

The first step is to create a CD Structure for your Project. This is done by adding all of your required project files to the CD Structure Window:

The buttons at the bottom can be used to add and remove files and folders. Please note that when adding a folder, all sub-folders and content will also be included.

Step 2 - Launch the CD/DVD Burn Screen

Once you have created a structure, click on the "Burn to CD/DVD" button (The last icon along the bottom):

This will automatically compile your Projector and launch the CD/DVD Burning Screen:

Step 3 - Burn a CD/DVD

From the CD/DVD Burning Screen, you simply select the device to use (only applicable if you have more than one CD/DVD-Writer attached) and the speed at which to burn. By default, this value is set to Maximum.

In addition, you can also create an Autorun.inf file which will automatically execute a file on your CD. Enable the "Create AUTORUN.INF" option and a drop down will appear below it. Select the file you wish to Autorun from the drop down list.

Click on "Burn CD" to begin writing your files to a CD or DVD. If you are using a re-writable CD, you can select "Erase a Rewritable CD" to clear the CD first.
