The problem is not the format, it is the inept implementation of the
standards.

You appear to be writing fixed-length packets, recognized to be by
far the least reliable and most fragile format available for CD.

In fact, I use erasable media only for test; they tend to be
forgetful. However, written in packets they're worse than merely
unreliable for some files; they are likely to cost you the whole
disc.

The issue is not the software but the format.

After blaming all the DirectCD bugs on the faulty "format", the Slimy
Scum spewed these:

Fixed-length packets create the least reliable, most fragile
format available for writing CDs.

However, they can still be read
if written to the standard (as DCD always has).

Wow! The faulty "format" is no problem after all!

Wonder whatever happened to all those DirectCD bugs Mikey weaseled out
with "the least reliable and most fragile format" cockamamie, like this
one:

I was using Direct Cd to load files on a cd when it burped.
Now the cd can't be read by the program or windows.

My guess is that you were writing fixed-length packets

That is the least reliable and most fragile format available
for CD writing.
======================

Wonder why the cd made by DirectCD could not be read then ???!!!
