Mike Richter figured out UDF? (xiv)
.. --------------------------------------
Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) crapped: I have used UDF for many years, but yesterday I had my first corruption. I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF at all now! First, your problem is not with UDF but with writing fixed-length packets. Figured out what UDF is, Friggin Freak? ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin SOB) Date: 4/27/01 The format is fragile; the fault is not in the software per se. 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. ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) Date: 1/4/05 Subject: Still Looking for a DirectCD Alternative The faults of DCD are due to limitations of the format, not to the program which has been solid for quite some time. ====================== .. ---------------------------------------- Mikey, you are The Slimiest Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |

Figured out what UDF is, Friggin Freak? ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin SOB) Date: 4/27/01 Subject: UDF, Packet Writing, and Backups The format is fragile; the fault is not in the software per se. 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. UDF is a fragile format ======================= Why is UDF a fragile format? ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) Date: 4/27/01 Subject: UDF, Packet Writing, and Backups That's because the directory information for fixed-length packets is held in RAM. ====================== Why is the directory information held in RAM? ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin SOB) Date: 4/30/01 Subject: UDF, Packet Writing, and Backups Unfortunately, it's unavoidable. The problem is that the information cannot be written back every time or the directory area would be worn out very quickly. Each change to the directory would necessitate rewriting some material - even if only a pointer to where the changes were located. Scrubbing that region would exceed the (nominal) 1000 rewrites very quickly. ====================== But what is the worth of CD-RW media whose life is extended -- at the expense of the data it is saving? It's not even worth salvaging! ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) Date: 11/27/02 I have a couple of cdrw that don't work anymore. You would think that you could at least erase the cdrw and start again, right? Even if you could erase it: Why bother, given the cost of replacement? ===================== .. ---------------------------------------- Mikey, you are The Slimiest Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |

When you write to the disc, the data are recorded immediately but the directory is updated only in RAM. I don't believe this is true... 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. ====================== From: Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin SOB ) Date: 7/9/00 You may well be correct; I have not been using fixed-length packets for some months. ====================== Mike Richter's slimy, weasel crap: [...not use...not know...not write...] I do not comment on what I don't know.

Mike Richter figured out UDF? (double-talk)
.. --------------------------------------
Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter (The Slimiest Friggin ****) crapped: I have used UDF for many years, but yesterday I had my first corruption. I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF at all ' . First, your problem is not with UDF Isn't this a problem? you should be aware that fixed-length packets are the most fragile and least reliable format BTW, where does the "format" come from? your problem is not with UDF but with writing fixed-length packets. Is the problem now with *writing* packets, not the packet *format*? fixed-length packets are the most fragile and least reliable format Incidently, packets are written in Mode 1 or Mode 2, the same Mode 1 or Mode 2 used when mastering. Does Mode 1 or Mode 2 write defective packets (sectors) when packet writing? ' you should be aware that fixed-length packets are the most fragile and least reliable format used on CD. Supposing fixed-length packets are indeed all of those. Is that a problem? your problem is not with UDF BTW, a fixed-length packet consists of 32 data sectors bounded by 7 blocks, 4 for run-in, 2 for run-out and 1 link block. What's in this so-called "format" that makes it the most fragile and least reliable? .. ---------------------------------------- Mikey, you are The Slimiest Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |
