A certain scam artist swears by the following:

"DirectCD bugs translate into the faults of packet writing"
"DirectCD bugs translate into unreliability of cd-rw media"

A lot of the DirectCD problems that are slimily blamed on the cd-rw
media and the packet writing format are caused by these DirectCD bugs:
-----------------------
DirectCD 3.05
Fixes

Some older, low-speed recorders cannot correctly write high-speed
rated CD-RW media, but DirectCD would formerly allow you to try.

DirectCD now checks the media and
will reject as appropriate. === FIXED ???

DirectCD 5.3.4
Fixed:

Burn to Ultra High Speed media on non-Ultra High Speed Drives,
no longer allowed === FIX a FIX ???

Incidentally, with a little experience,
you're likely to find that

formatting an erasable is not a problem.

Fixed-length packets make for the least reliable format for
CD recording and few people find a need for many such discs.

All that you say is very true. The crux of the situation is that
earlier versions of DCD worked just fine. Upgrading to Platinum
inititiated the problem.
