Yes and no. Your drive may or may not write to media of a lesser
type than specified, but the quality of the write is generally
much less than that for the specified type, which is often less
than you'd want to begin with. I did not say that it would not
work, only that "you're asking for trouble".

Double-check your data, though. There may be an UltraSpeed drive
which will write as slowly as 4x, but I don't know of it.

Subject: CD-RW Disc broken on DirectCD
Date: 7/9/00

Mike Richter (Slimy Scum) spewed (7/3/00):

When you load a fixed-length packet disc, the directory information
is read from the disc and translated in RAM. When you write to the
disc, the data are recorded immediately but the directory is updated
only in RAM. When you eject the disc or shut down Windows properly,
the directory information is transformed and written back to the disc.
Therefore, from the time you change something in the (RAM) directory
until that writeback, you can lose the directory if you have a
failure. That failure can be a power transient or a system lockup or
even forcing the disc to eject (in spite of the lock) using hardware.


I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of DirectCD (I'm
using 2.5d with Win98SE).

I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a
DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time.

Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a
DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased,

Subject: What is Responsible for Packet Writing Instability?
Date: 6/28/01

Mike Richter (Lying Scum) wrote:

There is an inherent problem in UDF, particularly with fixed-length
packets, which is the source of most of the problems reported. It is
that the directory information for the disc is held and modified in
RAM between loading the disc and ejecting it. Anything which precludes
a complete, valid package being written back risks the whole disc.


In other words, lack of true transactional semantics during the
crucial data transfer and filesystem update to the disc, creates the
highly non-zero possibility of severe data loss. It's not a question
of if, only a question of when. The more you use it, the worse your
odds become.

Because the information must be read and organized at insertion,
loading a complex disc is slow. Reading and writing are slow and
complex because the packets are *not* contiguous. If you stack up
writes and have concurrent file activity, there's a real chance that
the Windows filesystem will balk and fail to complete the write.
Again, a more complex disc and insufficient RAM increase the odds of
failure in my experience.


It's not the windows filesystem, it's the packet-writing software.

The most common cause of failure is the directory not being written
back correctly. That can happen on a system crash or power glitch;
a forced manual ejection; or simply a fault in the write of the
directory. Once a bad directory is written, not much can be done to
recover files. DCD 5 Scandisc, ISOBuster and CD-R Diagnostic are all
able to do something toward retrieving data from such a disc.


Of course, if the software was written _correctly_, none of this would
be an issue.

Most of the above is independent of the program used. In any case, if
compression is used, it increases the odds of failure and reduces the
chance of recovery - and usually doesn't improve storage
significantly. DCD has gradually decreased sensitivity to the
filesystem problems, but they're still there if you write a lot of
files concurrently. Again, that's essentially a Windows file
management issue.


The problems are all DCD's. Don't start to blame Windows for this one,
Mike.

I've used tape-as-a-removable-disk software, that _did_ implement
transactional semantics, and I never had the types of problems that
DirectCD exhibits. It's simply a matter that Roxio doesn't have a clue
how to code reliable software, in which a customer's precious data is
on the line.

Does the critical Windows hard-disk FAT16/FAT32 filesystem store the
entire FAT into RAM at startup, and only write out the changes again
at shutdown? NO! It updates it immediately, when there is a disk
update, to minimize the crucial window where data could be lost.

If the penalty for updating this often is too high (as it often is for
CD-RW media, both for speed and longevity reasons), then the proper
thing to do would be to maintain a write-buffer on the HD, with some
sort of logging filesystem, so that if there were an error on the disc
media, that the data could be easily recovered, and the entire disc
wouldn't be corrupted. I hope the new Mt. Rainier specification
addresses this problem, and buggy POS software like DirectCD becomes
the way of the past.

That's because the directory information for fixed-length packets

I'm using Win 2K sp2 and ESCD 4.04 / DirectCD 3.05

About every third time I write to the Pioneer CD-RW drive
via DirectCD I get a message saying there's been an
unrecoverable error. If I try to access the CD drive,
it hangs the OS.


If you're writing fixed-length packets (to an erasable),
you may have discovered as most others have that
the format is very fragile and unreliable.

Note that you must eject such a disc with software,
not force it out with the button on the drive.
=====================

Why then do the problems occur at THIRD time? Why not at SECOND time?

(BTW, does DirectCD count the number of eject button pushes?)

If manual eject is a no-no, how about the computer's RESET button,
Mikey?

Therefore, from the time you change something in the (RAM) directory

even forcing the disc to eject (in spite of the lock) using hardware.


I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of DirectCD (I'm
using 2.5d with Win98SE).

I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a
DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time.

Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a
DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased,

I pressed the computer's RESET button.

After the computer restarted, the CD-RW disc was fine, and all the files
I had just written were fully accessible.

Why can't I *always* eject a CD from my Lite-On CD-RW drive
by pressing its eject button please? Formatted CDs apparently
require me to use the InCD icon's menu to do this.


a fixed-length packet disc will have its directory written
only when it is ejected.

If you force ejection manually or have a power glitch, you
may lose the directory and with it some or all of your data.

In short, it's for your protection.

forcing a fixed-length packet disc to be released with
the button on the drive is an invitation to disaser.

It should always be ejected through software so that
pending writes including the directory are completed.

DCD 5.x allows hardware ejection, but even then it is
*very* bad practice.

Hardware eject is a *very* bad practice, yet DirectCD 5.x allows it!
Do cRoxio programmers specialize in *very* bad practice?

Mike Richter (Slimy Scum) spewed:

... I would appreciate an indication of the background as to
why you consider that the *format* of fixed-length packets is not
reliable, discounting any merits or demerits implicit in any specific
software that uses fixed-length packets in a random access (on-demand)
manner.


There are several reasons, but one predominates. When you remove a
fixed-length packet disc after having written anything to it, the
directory information is written back from RAM. That means that at least
portions of the disc are "scrubbed" - rewritten many times. The disc is
supposed to tolerate 1000 cycles, but in fact read accuracy goes down
continuously with erase cycles and the 1000 number seems absurdly
optimistic from the experience of most.

That's a million dollar question.

Videoman knew that Mike Richter was JUST a beta tester and not WORK for
cRoxio-Acraptec, and that Richter made no secret of that fact - nemerous
times even when such statement was not called for. Yet he asked:

Will you state for the record whether you are or are not
a stockholder/investor in either Roxio or Adaptec?

Why and what prompted Videoman ask the question?

There was no response from Mike Richter, in stark contrast to his piping
in --even when such statement is not called for-- with "just a beta
tester...not work for" drivel that's seemingly oozing out from all his
orifices. Wonder why not.


Relevant to the above question is this:

-------------------------------------------------------------
FTC GUIDES CONCERNING USE OF ENDORSEMENTS AND TESTIMONIALS IN
ADVERTISING

§255.5 Disclosure of material connections.

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/guides/endorse.htm

When there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of
the advertised product which might materially affect the weight or
credibility of the endorsement (i.e., the connection is not reasonably
expected by the audience) such connection must be fully disclosed.

An example of a connection that is ordinarily expected by viewers and
need not be disclosed is the payment or promise of payment to an
endorser who is an expert or well known personality, as long as the
advertiser does not represent that the endorsement was given without
compensation.

However, when the endorser is neither represented in the advertisement
as an expert nor is known to a significant portion of the viewing
public, then the advertiser should clearly and conspicuously disclose
either the payment or promise of compensation prior to and in exchange
for the endorsement or the fact that the endorser knew or had reasons to
know or to believe that if the endorsement favors the advertised product
some benefit, such as an appearance on TV, would be extended to the
endorser.

Roxio and their products. He was offensive to the point of obscenity
at two Roxio people who used to post and help here - when they gave

Date: 12/3/01

Alex Nichol (MS MVP) spewed:

And Roxio and Nero have both given up using ASPI - Roxio at Easy CD
4.02; Nero fairly recently.


That is very interesting stuff.

I've used Adaptec products for years now. Currently, my old AHA2940AU
is still kicking right along, got a scanner on it right now. No
burners. So, why is it that until I DID install "xp_aspi.zp" which came
from a MS download link, I couldn't get either my Phillips CDRW1208 or
'2940AU working?

ECDC5Platinum had installed just fine, with the instructions from the
Roxio website. But it did NOT find a supported burner. I noted that XP
had found and installed the built in driver for the 2940 but there was a
warning in device manager "could not start this device". I installed
that xp_aspi.zip, which turned out to be the 95/NT Adaptec ASPI layer
4.60 build 1021. I used aspichk.exe to see what WAS in XP first...it's
Adaptec ASPI 4.57, and PowerDVD won't work with that nor will my
Phillips burner. Went through that with 98SE already.

SO, it appears that contrary to the popular statement "XP and Adaptec
don't use ASPI anymore" BOTH damned sure DO.

Can a cd-rw that has been formatted (with DirectCD) and used for

erasing it in Nero, etc.

If this can be done, would the disk be more unstable for having been
formatted?


As Mike points out - there has been wear in the directory area, so it
really depends on how many updates you have done on it whether this
shows up

It could be an erasable wearing out. Don't believe the
manufacturer's claims about number of cycles; users typically
find less than a hundred erase cycles before losses show and

packet writing uses more erase cycles in the directory area
(where your problem originates) than many believe.


If that's the case, how could cRoxio claim this?
