When using fixed-length packets? ================================ From: "BrianT" Subject: Loosing Disk Space {formatting CDRW} Date: 5/8/03 Mike Richter (Hit&Run) wrote... BrianT wrote: Hi this is strange, anyone else get this? or can explain it 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. 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. ================================ [ Hit&Run Mikey has not yet responded ] |

Mike Richter on packet writing "format": the most fragile format the inherent fragility of the format the flaky UDF fixed-length packets the format is very fragile and unreliable the fault is not with the software but with the format the format is fragile; the fault is not in the software per se. |

Well I ended up returning the Sony and got a Plextor 48x instead. It came
with Roxio Direct CD which has worked fine for me in the past (waiting for bottles to be thrown). Plus the computer store said that Plextor was one of the best companies. Just tried it and it works great. No surprises. By the way that Yamaha drive conked out on me after only 150 burned disks even though it was 2 years old. I hardly ever used it, and I never used it to read CDs from. Why? Because it didn't read correctly. Plus, this was my 2nd Yamaha drive. The first one which I got 2 years ago had to be returned because the spinning mechanism was off balance. So 2 out of my 2 Yamaha drives sucked. What a pity. That thing cost $250. Oh well, I'll never buy a Yamaha CD burner again. "NgOnly" wrote in message rthlink.net... Hi. I bought a Sony CRX225A CD-R/RW 52X write, 24X rewrite drive. This replaces my Yamaha CRW2100E rewritable drive which stopped writing to disks not too long ago (after only 150 disks used -- sucks but that is another story). My question is this. I used Adaptec DirectCD with the Yamaha drive, which allowed me to drag and drop onto CDR disks. But, my new Sony drive forces me to use their B's Recorder Gold software if I want to use CDR disk, and drag and drop can't be done with a CDR disk. If I want to drag and drop, Sony says I have to buy CDRW disks, which are more expensive. What's the deal? Why could I drag and drop on my 2 year old Yamaha cd writer using CDRs but not my new Sony writer (where they say I have to use CDRW disks)? Should I return it and get another drive? All I want to do is simple data archiving, dragging and dropping data from Explorer. Can any of you gurus advise me. Perhaps there is a better drive more suited to my needs? Or can I use other software with the Sony drive that will allow me to drag and drop onto CDRs? Thanks for any advice. |

I am using the latest upgrade, v4.05, of Easy CD Creator. Is there any way to make a CD-Extra disc and get the track information on it? If you want to do a true CD Extra, you have to comply with the rules for CD Extra - which means TAO and no titles. ECDC and anything else which complies with the standard will comply with the standard. I know that's hard to accept, but try - real hard. ===================== Perhaps, it's Mike Richter who should try - real hard? http://www.roxio.com/en/common/gloss2.html Session-at-Once is ... used for CD Extra. In Session-at-Once recording, a first session containing multiple audio tracks is recorded in a single pass, then the laser is turned off, but the disc is not closed. Then a second (data) session is written and closed. ..
