    Hey,

    I'd like to use cdrtfe 1.5.2.0 to automatically generate an ISO-image by specifying a command-line. I've looked at the chm file but couldn't find any switches to create the iso file. The /execute parameter only allows me to burn to a physical medium.
    I'd like to be able to provide an optional parameter to a path of an iso file to /execute to create an iso image.
    Is this possible?

    There's no direct way to specify a path of an iso file using a cdrtfe commandline. You may want to use mkisofs which is a commandline tool to create iso images. cdrtfe itself uses mkisofs as backend.

    However, if it is sufficient to create an iso image with a predefined path, then you can use cdrtfe with /load and /execute.

    First, make all necessary settings for the data cd project. Then, specify the path to the output iso image in the 'Data Disc - Options' dialog. Be sure to enable 'Create image only, do not burn'. Save the empty project to a project file, e.g. project.cfp.

    Let's say, you want an iso image from the folder d:\test. You can now use the following commandline:

    cdrtfe /load project.cfp d:\test /execute
    

    cdrtfe will start, load the previously saved settings and write the contents of d:\test into the iso which has been specified in the first step.
