copying files to CD//DVD "Active File System"

[mcl]

I want to automate copying files to a DVD/CD, because dragging and dropping can be error prone

The script I would like to create is something like the following

load blank CD/DVD

xcopy path/Files to driveLetterforCD:/path/Files
.
more
.
xcopy path/Files to CD/DVD

burn CD/DVD

eject CD/DVD

Is any of the above feasible or even just do the copying once a blank CD/DVD is loaded, instead of the dragging ?

Thanks
