The worst packet writer has to be DirectCD when none other than a cRoxio
Shill rejected it:

=====================
From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shill)

I have used only DCD for packet writing,
have had no problems due to the software -
but too many due to the format itself

to bother with it any longer.

=====================
From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shill)
Date: 6/17/02

uninstalled DCD
when I stopped testing for Roxio
=====================

The above Mikey's statement is the first ever case in which a Shill is
rejecting the very product IT is shilling for.

With a Shill like this, cRoxio doesn't need any critics!

I've used various versions of InCD (since v1) and they're all rubbish. So I
decided to get rid of it and do without using CD/DVD-RW. But I recently
tried the latest version of InCD (InCD4072) -- and it still doesn't work! My
PC refused to load it when I rebooted.

Now, I know that it will work next time I boot my PC (probably) but this is
ridiculous. The latest versions seem less stable than the earlier versions.
Is it me or is this a common problem?

I use (and like) Nero for burning CDs/DVDs or I would give another suite of
software a try.

Personally I've found the the lastest versions extremely buggy, causing
reboots, BSOD, lockups and HDD corruption. Simply copying some files
(with explorer) to disk is often enough to cause the system to do any of
the above. Its a pity as when it works it works much better than older
versions (which are less buggy but more awkward to use).

Can anyone recommend a stable packet writing software with support for
DVD-/+R/RW (dont want to hear how PW is unreliable as personally I've
never lost data yet).
