Packet writing and different media

I'm about to get a DVD burner and find myself wondering about packet
writing.

I've long since abandoned it on CDs except for one disc, and even them, I
only came back to it with a Mt. Rainier capable drive and have had luck so
far.

Since DVDs offer the same choice of mastering and packet writing, I'm
wondering if the same problems avait us. They're much larger than CDs so
packet writing seems even more attractive to put all that space to the
maximum use.

Since DVDs even use the same software for their packet writing, I'm
wondering if DVDs are shomehow different, and not as prone to trouble when
using packet writing.

Any comments are welcome.

Rick.

When Mikey Richter (Lying Scum) was shilling Take Two, supposedly a
backup software, packet writing was a must for Take Two to work IDEALLY:

=====================
From: Mike Richter (Acraptec Shill)
Subject: A note on Take Two
Date: 9/1/99

For Take Two to work ideally, your drive must support packet
writing and you must have DCD installed ... to do it.

You may back up ... to a DCD-formatted erasable.
=====================

But when the reports of DirectCD bugs were pouring in, packet writing
became flaky, fragile, faulty and unreliable:

Subject: File Integrity Errors - DirectCD Bug?
Date: 10/15/01

Combining the flaky UDF fixed-length packets with
the tendency of erasables (particularly HS) to forget
is LETHAL for archiving.

The format is fragile; the fault is not in the software per se.

In fact, the overwhelming majority of the complaints about
any UDF software are about the format, but the format is seen
through the software which gets the blame ...

Few data are available yet, but reports so far and some preliminary
quantitative analysis indicate that erasable DVDs are no more reliable
than erasable CDs. If you mean variable-length packets, they should be
fine on DVD as they usually are on CD.

From: Mike Richter (cRoxio Shill)
Subject: Best packetwriting software?
Date: 8/19/02

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.
=====================

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!

DirectCD 3.05
Fixes

For some recorders, it was possible to select recording speeds that
were not in fact supported.

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 ???
