Date: 12/19/01 I'm using Win 2K sp2 and ESCD 4.04 / DirectCD 3.05 About every third time I write to the Pioneer CD-RW drive via DirectCD I get a message saying there's been an unrecoverable error. If I try to access the CD drive, it hangs the OS. If you're writing fixed-length packets (to an erasable), you may have discovered as most others have that the format is very fragile and unreliable. ========================================== Did the "format" -- the scam artist's slimy euphemism for the UDF STANDARD -- change for the worse between (9/1/99) and (12/19/01)? ------------------------------------------------------- Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio-Adaptec? ------------------------------------------------------- |

In fact, I use erasable media only for test; they tend to be forgetful. However, written in packets they're worse than merely unreliable for some files; they are likely to cost you the whole disc. The issue is not the software but the format. ====================== Did the "format" -- the scam artist's slimy euphemism for the UDF STANDARD -- change for the worse between (9/1/99) and (5/7/03)? ------------------------------------------------------- Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio-Adaptec? ------------------------------------------------------- |

However, that's likely to be sooner than you would wish and the approach is at best foolish. Writing 50 MB of data and ~13 MB session space means about ten sessions on a disc. If you splurge fifty cents on a quality blank, you are wasting - absolutely throwing away to no purpose at all - a nickel's worth on each. Hey, what difference does it make if the erasable goes bad unexpectedly and all your data are lost? You've saved a nickel a day. That's certainly worth more than those files, right? Bottom line: what you "know" ain't so. It's advertising hype having no relationship to the experience of those who have tried using fixed-length packets. ===================== Did the "format" -- the scam artist's slimy euphemism for the UDF STANDARD -- change for the worse between (9/1/99) and (11/9/02)? ------------------------------------------------------- Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio-Adaptec? ------------------------------------------------------- |
