Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- ( Reduced to living off the trash? ) ( ... my thanks to Tim ... ) Dr Ratt wrote: no, i'd suggest not using incd/directcd at all. packet writing is inherently unstable and flaky regardless of the software.

Care to respond to BrianT - for Hit&Run? ====================== From: Mike Richter (Hit&Run) Subject: Loosing Disk Space {formatting CDRW} Date: 5/7/03 BrianT wrote: When I re-format a CDRW with Drag to Disk Full Format {EasyCD 6}, the space available after format drops by between 150 and 200 Mgs and I cannot get it back. A full format on a new CDRW is OK. I have a LG 52x24x52x and use TDK or Packard Bell 10X CDRW. This never happened with EasyCD 5. The space you are losing is due to sectors found to be unreliable. It's a good sign that the disc is developing errors and is ready for the trash. You'll also find that formatting gets slower; it takes time to retry verification and to mark the bad sectors. If you insist on using fixed-length packets, you ask for that as well as losing data. ====================== From: "BrianT" Subject: Loosing Disk Space {formatting CDRW} Date: 5/8/03 Mmm, but if I format a brand new CDRW I get the full monty then if I immediately re-format, quick or full, I loose 150Mg. Surly CDRW's don't develop errors after 5 minutes? Also from your statement "If you insist on using fixed-length packets, you ask for that as well as losing data" are you suggesting that the Drag and Drop part of Easy CD is unreliable and should not be used ? If so why does Easy Cd 6 have this software and say how easy it is to use. Now I am very puzzled. =============================== |

The message I get from Nero is; "The CD is COPYRIGHTED"! Not- "writer protected"! I get this same message on ALL CDs that I tried to copy?! even prev. downloaded stuff I have done myself! Did you see "Digital copy permitted"? Change software. Most programs ignore the prohibition against digital duplication; yours appears to pay attention to it. (Typically, the bit is set by whatever program writes the disc.) Why are you commenting on Nero, Mikey? Do you use Nero, Mikey? Remember this weasel drivel of yours? [...not use...not know...not write...] Don't you remember that the above weasel drivel was your weasel excuse for not acknowledging the Ezcd 5 not writing Mode 1 bug? Also, was Adrian Miller wrong about you, Mikey? ======================= From: Adrian Miller Subject: Sam needs to apologise to Mike now. (was: Wife Beating Stopped, Mike Richter?) Date: 4/25/01 Unlike certain people he does not like to speculate on matters that he does not have personal experience of. ======================= Didn't Adrian Miller have reliable information then, Mikey? ===================== From: Mike Richter (Lying Scum) Date: 8/2/01 [Adrian Miller] does provide reliable information when he has it in my experience. ====================== |

Are there other packet writing softwares beside DirectCD and InCD? If so, do you happen to know what they are? |

I want to thank all of you for your help!
A good friend of mine, from "alt. discuss. computers" sent me a copy of " NTI- CD MAKER" and it is working great!! Simple and easy to use (what I need!) The only thing is, that it does not have a "Package Writer",but maybe I can find a way to use one from some other software, maybe InCD?! or something like it! Thanks again for your input and help!
