Re-booting (or crashing Windows Explorer) fixes the problem. Did you eject the UDF disc with software? Even though the recent versions of DCD should handle manual eject, I don't trust it. [ How did the supposedly lost directory by manual eject miraculously appear after reboot? ] Blame on manual eject for the bugs of DirectCD, Mikey?

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?)

Date: 2/7/02 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.
