Mike Richter, were you born with
"Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face?

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 ???

Mikey's slimy "excuse" for the above DirectCD bugs:

I find that in using DIRECT CD, after I format the disk, (which takes
forever) it shows it's completely full and instructions are to delete
something to make room for what I'm tying to drag & drop.


At a guess - answering is much easier if you provide some information -
you are formatting an erasable for fixed-length packets. In that case,
you have a medium which is poorly matched to your drive.

When DCD formats, it reads back each sector to be sure it's well
prepared. With a mismatch, many sectors fail which means

formatting takes a looooooooonng time

and the result is too little usable space to be of value.

Try a disc better matched to your drive and be sure it matches the drive
for HS or non-HS.

But then:

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.
