Well after trying to get the API to work in visual basic, I pretty much gave up and went with the command line approach, which works really well.

The problem I am having however is detecting when a light scribe disk is inserted.  Right now, I burn the disk through the image burn api, and have it eject.  After that my program is suppose to wait until a lightscribe disk is inserted into the drive before continuing.

Does anyone know of a way to detect this?  A command line that spit out a 1 or a 0 would work for me at this point.

On a side note I would love to use the API, but frankly its a mess to get working in visual basic, and a little above my head.  If their was an easy to use .dll it would be great, but it seems like its pretty much for C++ devs only.

I was afraid of this, no answers.  Looks like I may have stumbled into a problem that no one has been able to solve, or ever had to solve from inside of visual basic.
