Yesterday – Arcane Optical Media Recording Knowledge Chaos of un-standardized HW and SW Consumer confusion preventing further adoption Can I burn this media type in my PC’s drive? Will the media I burn play on my consumer electronic device? Can I add more files to this disc? Proliferation of incompatible filter drivers Interactions causing system failures

Today – The Start Of A Solid Foundation What is the Optical Platform? Feature set A group that provides a single point of contact Enabling focus on user experience Support existing standardization and commoditization trends Platform supplies support for device and media APIs available for usage by all applications Support new drives, media types and file systems Frequent updates

How Does Optical Platform Bring Value To The IHV? MMC/T10 command support for CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±R DL, DVD-RAM, HD DVD-ROM, BD-ROM Not required to ship drivers with hardware In-box support for your hardware Logo qualification tests in the WDK

And The ISV? In-box burning and authoring APIs Frequent updates to the optical stack Diverse media and drive type support Bottom line, we will focus on the standards and you are enabled to focus on the user experience

And The OEM? Reducing cost Updates to support new HW and Media types Support for drives conforming to standards Reducing support calls Optical platform features integrated in-box with Windows

Optical Platform Architecture IMAPI V2 (User Mode) Provided by Microsoft ISV OEM IHV CDROM.SYS (kernel mode) Applications Live UDF File System (Kernel Mode) Optical Drive File System i.e. UDF Disc Recorder Disc Master enumerates CD/DVD Devices Disk Format i.e. Data CD Write Engine Specialized Writing Applications

Windows Vista CDRom.sys AACS support Read Media Key Block Size and Media Key Block Start and End Session Send and Get Certificate Get and Send Challenge Key Read Volume ID Read Serial Number Read Media ID Read and Generate Binding Nonce Exclusive Access Query State Lock Device Unlock Device Set Speed Set Streaming

IMAPI v2 Image Mastering API Big Improvement over v1 More Extensible More Reliable – User mode Scriptable Ability to write multiple file systems UDF, ISO 9660, Joliet Media types supported CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±R DL, DVD±RW, DVD-RAM

IMAPI v2 Layered model “A la Carte” – use only the parts you like Simpler interfaces for writing disc formats Track-at-Once Audio Data Discs (multi-session and ISO image) Architecture provides for extensibility to the interfaces Write your own specific media format Define your own file system

IMAPI v2 Interfaces File System Format Creation – create content Write Engine – writing large data sections to the media Disc Recorder – send commands to device Disc Master – enumerate optical devices

IMAPI v2 Example script Example VBScript to write an ISO image to the first CD/DVD drive on the system ‘ Can use ADODB.Stream or any other IStream object SET dataStream = fnCreateStreamFromFile( fileName ) ‘ Get the 1st recorder object SET recorder = fnCreateRecorderByIndex( 0 ) ‘ Create the data writer SET dataWriter = CreateObject( “IMAPI2.MsftDiscFormat2Data” ) ‘ Tell the data writer which recorder to use dataWriter.recorder = recorder ‘ Force the media to be “finalized” dataWriter.ForceMediaToBeClosed = true ‘ Write the ISO image DataWriter.Write( dataStream )

Live UDF File System Drag and drop scenarios Just like a hard drive Supported UDF Versions Read and Write V2.5, V2.01, V1.50 and V1.02 Read-only V2.6 Default to UDF 2.01 for DVD/CD±R/RW Default to UDF 2.50 for HD DVD/BD

CDROM.SYS IMAPI UDF Media Center Edition Shell Data Protection DVD and Movie Maker Windows Media Player Windows Vista Optical Platform Consumers Windows Vista Platform Optical Platform Consumers

Coming Soon Down-Level Support for Windows XP High-Definition Formats Frequent Updates of the Optical Platform New Features

Authoring Key authoring scenarios supported as a part of Windows Vista Enable customers to create content for playback on consumer electronic devices Provide core authoring platform support to cross the software interoperability gap

Our Vision Of The Future Microsoft’s Optical Platform becomes a platform that supports key burning and authoring customer scenarios IMAPI v2 provides complete and timely support for new media formats Industry adoption and extensibility of the platform improves the richness of the burning and authoring experiences

Call To Action Test your hardware with Windows Vista and IMAPIv2 Report missing functionality Focus on end-to-end customer scenarios IMAPIv2 takes care of in-box command set support, report missing commands Report issues to microsoft.com
