Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (fragile)
(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 (fragile) ================================================== ==== ====================== From: Mike Richter (Roxio ****) Date: 9/28/03 Subject: Invivisible folder/files on DirectCD-formatted CD When you have just written the data, the directory is in RAM (which is why the format is fragile). === fragile? ======================== In the case of the UDF as implemented by DirectCD, the directory is not held in ram until the disc is ejected: ====================================== From: DeepOne Date: 7/9/00 Subject: CD-RW Disc broken on DirectCD Mike Richter crapped: When you load a fixed-length packet disc, the directory information is read from the disc and translated in RAM. When you write to the disc, the data are recorded immediately but the directory is updated only in RAM. When you eject the disc, the directory information is transformed and written back to the disc. 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?] |
