I'm about to get a DVD burner and find myself wondering about packet writing. I've long since abandoned it on CDs except for one disc, and even them, I only came back to it with a Mt. Rainier capable drive and have had luck so far. Since DVDs offer the same choice of mastering and packet writing,...

Hi! Thanks for your attention.I'm using the cd copier portion of ECDC (began with version 4.02d and now since summer 2002 using 5.1) since almost three years to make backup copies of all my disks successfully, and i keep them somewhere else than at home just in the case of fire,theft...etc... Since...

They will lose their data after 5 years and soon everybody will throw them away and buy cassette recorders again. CDRs are rubbish, but cassette recorders rule!

I just tried burn4free and I created a 17 track cd, a disk at once, this was *dispite* windows reporting my hard drive full and popping up the disk cleanup window. (It was full as I burned 700 mb with about 720mb free space on drive Prior to this I had created 15 straight coasters with adaptec...

According to an article in CNET, "The best way to destroy CD-Rs is to microwave them on high for five seconds." Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Any unpleasant side effects? http://news.com.com/Who+says+safe+computing+must+remain+a+pipe+dream/2010-1071_3-5482340.html

Okay, here's the situation: Say you have about 2200 source code files. Spread across a handful of subfolders and varying numbers of subfolders in each of those. They were burned to a CD, and when you do a visual compare in Windows Explorer between the files on the CD and the same files on a...

Hi folks, I'm using Nero and was wondering if anyone knows how to make an MP3 cd? I have read the manual (the PDF) and see nothing in it on how to make an MP3 cd. Thanks a bunch if anyone can help! -- http://www.nero.com/enu/linux3.html http://www.nero.com/enu/support-linux3.html

Is DVD+R better than DVD-R and if not why not? I'm asking because there are certain economic advantages to go with the +R but I don't have a clear picture of the pros and cons. Thanks for any help . Jack

Well, I do not understand this, and I'm about to e-mail Roxio about this nonsense. http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/udf/software_updates.html "This is a free download for the convenience of users who do not own Roxio software however no support is provided for this tool" Sounds OK.

My Samsung CD burner came with a CD-RW and it formatted and I can use it at a 600 meg floppy. perfect. So I bought a few more RWs. When I format those the drive is locked! I can't write to it. What the heck did I do wrong?

My CDRW has failed (I seem to have broke it) and I have several 'unfinished' discs. By unfinished I mean that they were were written with Adaptec Direct CD software (I think this is what is called 'a packet writer') so they will not be read able in a normal CD drive untill they are 'finished'. So...

Does anyone have any creative uses for CD/DVD coasters that result from bad burns, or free AOL/Earthlink/PeopleSoft, etc CDs? I did read that the shiny reflective underside scares any birds (or pigeons) because they are scared of their own reflections. What do you do? I hope you don't just throw...

I recently bought NEC dual layer DVD+/-RW burner. But it comes with Roxio. Is Nero better than ROxio for DVD/CD creation? Does NEC with Nero support overburned DVD/CD? TIA Cygnus The Bringer of Balance

I'm trying to complete a mix cd. I'm using Nero 5.5 however after I hit the burn button I get the followimg: Foghat Shade Tree Systems 1502-4360-1115-0601-0090-2580* Windows 98 4.10 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=1, 0, 0, 0, size=36864 bytes, created 4/23/99 10:22:00 PM

Hi. I bought a Sony CRX225A CD-R/RW 52X write, 24X rewrite drive. This replaces my Yamaha CRW2100E rewritable drive which stopped writing to disks not too long ago (after only 150 disks used -- sucks but that is another story). My question is this. I used Adaptec DirectCD with the Yamaha drive,...

What is the possibility that I will experience data loss using packet writing software? Si.
