DVDRW Packet writing software?
Hi all!
I recently bought a Sony DRU 510A DVD burner so I could start using DVDR/RW's. This complements the drives I already have - Yamaha CRW2200E cd burner and Liton DVD/CD drive. Running Win98se. Previously I used Nero6 with Incd4 for packet writing. I understood these should also work with DVDR/RW's. Problem was that neither Nero or Incd would recognize my new DRU 510A. So I uninstalled them and installed the s/w that came with the drive - RecordNow DX and DLA. Both work with all drives but DLA is a pain in the butt. After starting the pc, I can't access any of the drives. If I try to run a program that uses a cd in the drive, I get the "drive not accessible" message. I can't even eject the cd using the eject button on the drive. They only way is to go into My Computer or Windows Explorer and click on each drive and then it's OK (assumming it has a cd/dvd in it). Even then it's sometimes iffy and I don't see the label of the cd next to the drive letter even though I see it's contents. Sometime it the past I thought I had a problem with Incd and got into the habit of disabling it at startup and just clicking on a shrtcut to incd.exe when I needed it. Worked great. Can't seem to to this with DLA. Is there any other stand-alone packet writing software out there that works with DVDRW's? Jeff |

Update Nero to version 5.5.10.42, it should work. Though use of packet
writing is not often recommended, especially with DVDRW. "Jeff" wrote in message om... Hi all! I recently bought a Sony DRU 510A DVD burner so I could start using DVDR/RW's.

Actually, there have been many problems with DVDRW and packet writing
software, and considering the price of DVDRW media, losing a few discs is a big deal. Saying that DVD is "far more stable" is like saying that a clean pig is better than a dirty one. It's still a pig. Also, there are no bundled versions of Nero 6 as far as I know, only Nero Express. "Trev" wrote in message ...

Dan,
So you recommend I *downgrade* from Nero 6? I've never had a problem packet writing to CDRW before. Is there anything special about using DVDRW's? "Dan G" wrote in message ...

The problems are in the software and drivers for the software. I don't
recommend you use packet writing at all. If your version of Nero came with another drive, it won't work with the Sony unless you buy a retail license. DLA is well known for problems with DVDRW discs, not being able to erase them is one common one. All the packet writing wares have one problem or another. "Jeff" wrote in message om...
