You can't stand rants, but can you stand a FRAUD?

For Take Two to work ideally, your drive must support
packet writing and you must have DCD installed...to do it.

You may back up ... to a DCD-formatted erasable.

Yes, overwriting will work on a fixed-length packet disc until
it fails. However, that's likely to be sooner than you would
wish and the approach is at best foolish.

Writing 50 MB of data and ~13 MB session space means about ten
sessions on a disc. If you splurge fifty cents on a quality blank,
you are wasting - absolutely throwing away to no purpose at all -
a nickel's worth on each.

Hey, what difference does it make if the erasable goes bad
unexpectedly and all your data are lost? You've saved a nickel
a day. That's certainly worth more than those files, right?

Bottom line: what you "know" ain't so. It's advertising hype
having no relationship to the experience of those who have
tried using fixed-length packets.
=====================

Did the "format" -- the scam artist's slimy euphemism for the UDF
STANDARD -- change for the worse between (9/1/99) and (11/9/02)?
