How well does DLA work?

Looking at various DVD RW drives, Sony amongst them. It
comes with DLA, which I gather is different from regular
packet writing software which I think is referred to as
UDF?.

How does DLA compare?

TIA

DLA stands for Drive Letter Access, a name for packet writing software.

Recently added a Philips 3210 CDRW to PC with HP 9100i CDRW, and
Direct CD refuses to see the 2nd CDRW. I see nothing in the help
screens and everything is visible and operational in Windows AND in
Nero (v5). But DCD sees only one CDRW and therefore won't allow packet
writing to the 2nd one.

Assuming that "3210" is CDRW3210s, it would be a complete waste of time.
The drive does not support packet writing and the software can't make
the hardware do what the hardware isn't designed to do.

Both Stomp's DLA and VOB's InstantWrite do packet writing with the
drive. What amazing softwares, enabling packet writing even for a drive
not designed for it !!!

There can be a confusion of terminology - UDF is the File system
normally used when a disk is written in Packet mode; it can also be
used in other circumstances but the terms do tend to get mixed

DLA is a good packet writing program (now owned by Veritas who
unfortunately seem to be spending little effort on developing it) and
has pretty good compatibility with Direct CD's interpretation of the
standards. I used it when I had HP drives in preference to the other
ones and it would read disks from the then version of Direct CD. .
But now you only get it AFAIK as a free provision for HP or Sony, or
if you get the CD (not download) of RecordNowMax Platinum from
www.stompinc.com. Whether Sony have had it enhanced to handle Mount
Rainier formats would be interesting to find out
