Care to respond to this - for Hit&Run?

Oh? How's that?

Typical Mike Richter:

Does not answer the only real question (about how packet writing would
wear out a CD-RW earlier than authoring) but responds to the sarcastic
bit that was in reference to his troll.

Because you were caught out again, isn't it, Mike.
Because you were caught trolling, again, like so many times.

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.

Did you see "Digital copy permitted"?


Change software. Most programs ignore the prohibition against digital
duplication; yours appears to pay attention to it. (Typically, the bit
is set by whatever program writes the disc.)


Why are you commenting on Nero, Mikey? Do you use Nero, Mikey?
Remember this weasel drivel of yours?

[...not use...not know...not write...]

Don't you remember that the above weasel drivel was your weasel excuse
for not acknowledging the Ezcd 5 not writing Mode 1 bug?

Also, was Adrian Miller wrong about you, Mikey?

Didn't Adrian Miller have reliable information then, Mikey?

[Adrian Miller] does provide reliable information
when he has it in my experience.

Are there other packet writing softwares beside DirectCD and InCD? If
so, do you happen to know what they are?

I want to thank all of you for your help!
A good friend of mine, from "alt. discuss. computers" sent me a copy of
" NTI- CD MAKER" and it is working great!! Simple and easy to use (what
I need!) The only thing is, that it does not have a "Package Writer",but
maybe I can find a way to use one from some other software, maybe InCD?!
or something like it!
Thanks again for your input and help!
BN
