I'm looking for a VCL library I can use to control a USB CD/DVD writer.
I need to do simple things like disk detection, open/close drawer.
I also need to detect media type, format, etc.

Failing to find such a library, I am looking for suggestions on ways to 
access the device such as win32 api's....

Using C++ builder 5.

Thanks all - John

send commands to them ext...
open the door, close the door , spin up the platter, change TV channels on

VCR devices etc..
