I have been trying to implement this but there seems to be a serious technical problem that prevents us from implementing this.
In case of data DVD/CD burning there is a need to build image layout before the burning of individual files starts. I tried to create a dummy files ( with zero bytes lenght), but the layout creation fails. Another possibility is to use empty files for the layout creation and then fill them, but problem is that we cannot know the exact length of all the files until we convert them all.

In addition do this actions simultaneously would be very dangerous, in case the auto-conversion fails for a file then we cannot change the created CD image layout, because burning would proceed at the same time.

I guess that we should fix 0003946 that partially solves this issue too.
