Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (inherent)
(Repost at the special request by Eric Gisin)
.. -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter spewed (11/7/07): If you look around hard enough, you can always find "someone" to say anything. Like this one, Mikey? ================================================== ===== Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (inherent) ================================================== ===== This is Mikey's response to the question why Roxio's DirectCD causes Win2k system unstable: ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 6/27/01 Subject: What is Responsible for Packet Writing Instability? There is an inherent problem in UDF, particularly with fixed-length packets It is that the directory information for the disc is held and modified in RAM between loading the disc and ejecting it. Anything which precludes a complete, valid package being written back risks the whole disc. ====================== In the case of the UDF as implemented by DirectCD, the directory is not held in ram until the disc is ejected -- supposedly the inherent problem of UDF: ======================================== From: DeepOne Date: 7/9/00 Subject: CD-RW Disc broken on DirectCD Mike Richter (Acraptec ****) crapped: snip crap on directory held in ram until eject I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of DirectCD (I'm using 2.5d with Win98SE). I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time. Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased, I pressed the computer's RESET button. After the computer restarted, the CD-RW disc was fine, and all the files I had just written were fully accessible. ===================================== ' -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- [Mike Richter, Any Material Connection w/ Roxio?] |
