Current Behaviour

burn_windows.go launches isoburn.exe /Q (the built-in Windows Disc Image Burner). This opens an external Windows dialog to handle the burn. VideoTools shows an indeterminate progress state until isoburn exits.

Impact

  • Burn progress is visible only in the Windows dialog, not in the VideoTools UI
  • Speed selection from the VideoTools UI has no effect (isoburn uses its own speed)
  • The experience is inconsistent with the Linux burn which shows real progress

Desired Behaviour

Implement burning via the IMAPI2 COM interface directly (IDiscFormat2Data, IDiscRecorder2) to get real sector-by-sector progress, speed control, and proper finalization � all displayed in the VideoTools UI.

Reference

See docs/BURN_MODULE_DESIGN.md �Windows: IMAPI2
