Fixed-length packets create the least reliable, most fragile

However, they can still be read
if written to the standard (as DCD always has).

Subject: Files Disappeared From CDRW DIsc.......

Suddenly i find myself among those who are having BIG problems
with Roxios crappy software, after a reasonable amount of small
problems with it, i insert a cdrw with files on it (jpegs) and
tried to burn a few more onto it only to find Roxio software
thinks it is either, corrupted, unrecognized data or need
formatting(?)

only one file remains on the disc, the others are GONE.

My guess is that you used DCD and you have now joined
the crowd of users who have learned that

fixed-length packets are the least reliable and
most fragile format you can write to CD.

Incidentally, the fault is not with the software but with
the format and the medium.

I burned a CDRW using DirectCD, everything burned without any

read

available.

I was using Direct Cd to load files on a cd when it burped.
Now the cd can't be read by the program or windows.

My guess is that you were writing fixed-length packets

That is the least reliable and most fragile format available

I have been a user of Dell computers and Roxio Direct CD
In all fairness to Dell, I believe the main culprit here is Roxio.

5. I put in a previously formatted cd to be written on, one that
has previously written data, and the Direct CD sreen comes on,
saying the cd is blank.

You appear to be writing fixed-length packets, recognized to be
by far the least reliable and most fragile format available for CD.

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.

I have EZCDC 5.02b... I burned a 10X CDRW with 5 small sessions
over a period of a few weeks just for small file ... transfer
to another computer. I went to burn another to it and found
I could not read it at all.

Is this a known bug with creator or the drive?

Neither. My guess is that you mean the DCD component of ECDC
and that you wrote fixed-length packets.

That is the least reliable format available and you seem to have
suffered from it.
