## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | backendObject
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new OpticalDisc object. You generally won't need this. It's created when necessary using Device.as().

Parameters:

  | backendObject | the device interface object provided by the backend

See also:
  Solid.Device.as()

Solid.OpticalDisc.ContentTypes availableContent | ( |  | self ) |

Retrieves the content types this disc contains (audio, video, data...).

Returns:
  the flag set indicating the available contents

See also:
  Solid.OpticalDisc.ContentType

long capacity | ( |  | self ) |

Retrieves the disc capacity (that is the maximum size of a volume could have on this disc).

Returns:
  the capacity of the disc in bytes

Solid.OpticalDisc.DiscType discType | ( |  | self ) |

Retrieves the disc type (cdr, cdrw...).

Returns:
  the disc type

bool isAppendable | ( |  | self ) |

Indicates if it's possible to write additional data to the disc.

Returns:
  true if the disc is appendable, false otherwise

bool isBlank | ( |  | self ) |

Indicates if the disc is blank.

Returns:
  true if the disc is blank, false otherwise

bool isRewritable | ( |  | self ) |

Indicates if the disc is rewritable.

A disc is rewritable if you can write on it several times.

Returns:
  true if the disc is rewritable, false otherwise

## Static Method Documentation

Solid.DeviceInterface.Type deviceInterfaceType | ( |  | ) |

Get the Solid.DeviceInterface.Type of the OpticalDisc device interface.

Returns:
  the OpticalDisc device interface type
