Mike Richter: CD-R Faq has Significant Errors
.. --------------------------------------
Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter spewed (11/7/07): If you look around hard enough, you can always find "someone" to say anything. Like this one, Mikey? --------------------------------------------- Mike Richter: CD-R FAQ has Significant Errors --------------------------------------------- ================================= From: "ned ludd" Date: 5/28/02 Subject: Lead in and Lead out Mike Richter (Slimy ****) crapped: I've posted privately to Andy on the FAQ section. It is quite dated ... and has significant errors based on my understanding. An essential omission for this Subject is the role of the leadout/runout in a reader. A CD-ROM (or audio) drive needs the runout to read the session at all. Not in my experience. An audio disc without a leadout ... will read in ANY player up to the point where the data ends provided it was burned DAO. Failed data discs burned DAO will behave similarly, any complete files will be readable in any reader. ================================= ---------------------------------------------- Mikey, you are The Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------------- |

I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF your problem is not with UDF ====================== ' ------------------------------- Wow!

Mike Richter's Unadulterated White Lies (error rates)(BLER)
.. --------------------------------------
Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter spewed (11/7/07): If you look around hard enough, you can always find "someone" to say anything. Like this one, Mikey? ================================================== ========= Mike Richter's Unadulterated White Lies (error rates)(BLER) ================================================== ========= ----------------------------------------------------- Mike Richter's Unadulterated White Lies (error rates)(7-00) ----------------------------------------------------- ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 7/22/00 I have been told by a friend ... that burning above 2X will not result in reliable data. Is he in the mail room? I certainly hope he has nothing to do with the engineering side if he's so greatly misinformed. I have actually measured error rates The best results were when writing at 4x, 2x was slightly poorer and 1x was worst of all. ====================== Then again: ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 4/17/00 Subject: whats the point of 8x cd recording if you can hardly ever write? I have never understood the advantage of 8x writing to begin with - unless you're in the mass-pirating business. I make enough mistakes at 2x and 4x. I find that the BLER is lower at 2x even on the 8x blanks I prefer. ====================== The above is an unadulterated white LIE. First, it directly contradicts the (7/22/00) post. Second, there was NO way Mikey could have found the BLER -- Mikey had NO time to use a BLER tester: ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 4/23/00 I have borrowed a machine which will do BLER testing - if only I can find the time to use it. ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 12/29/00 I have a BLER tester on loan; all I need is the time to set it up and learn to use it. Maybe by 2003 if I'm lucky. ====================== ---------------------------------------------- Mikey, you are The Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- |

Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on CD-RW Media (iv)

Like this one, Mikey? ================================================== == Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on CD-RW Media ================================================== == ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 10/19/02 Subject: 4x CDRW's in 12x Writer? About to trade my 4x TEAC for a Mitsumi that does CDRW's at 12x. Will it still write my 4x media? Not well if at all. ====================== Mikey's 12x Plextor must be something special: ========================== From: Camper Date: 8/23/02 I even write files with INCD on the high speed Liteon with low speed CDRWs (up to 4 speed). ========================= From: mbg Date: 10/19/02 I have a Plextor 121032S and it will write 4X CDRW media fine at 4X. ========================= From: Harry Avant Date: 10/19/02 Well I just used a couple of old Memorex 4X CD-RWs in a new Plex 40/12/40 and had no problems. ========================= And here comes Mikey with the "error rates" crap: ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 10/20/02 I have tested non-HighSpeed erasables in my 12x HighSpeed and 8x non-HighSpeed Plextors and find substantially higher error rates at 4x in the HighSpeed drives. ====================== The above is an unadultered white LIE. There was NO way Mikey could have tested "error rates". First, there was NO error rate measuring software supporting Plextors. Second, even if there was a software, it could not have found error rates -- because the above Plextors do NOT report C1 errors.

But the above unadulterated white lie is the basis for these cockamamie mumbo jumbos: ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 11/25/03 There are many problems with eraable media. The most common is using a medium poorly matched to your drive. For starters, check the logo on the drive and on the package of blanks. If they don't match - HighSpeed, UltraSpeed or neither - then you're asking for trouble. ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 12/24/03 Most likely, you are using the wrong media. If it's UltraSpeed, it wants discs in similarly marked packages - rated 16x and above. If it's High Speed, it wants discs in similarly marked packages, rated 4x and above. If it has neither marking, it needs discs without such marking on their packaging and rated no higher than 4x. ====================== ---------------------------------------------- Mikey, you are the Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- |

DirectCD now checks the media and will reject as appropriate. === FIXED ??? DirectCD 5.3.4 Fixed: Burn to Ultra High Speed media on non-Ultra High Speed Drives, no longer allowed === FIX a FIX ??? ----------------------- -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, Any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |

I've heard that 4x and 10x CDRW's are quite different. They use substantially different alloys. You may be able to write to the non-HS (4x) media at 4x, but the recording will be poor and reliability will be low. ======================= Do you suppose the burner makers are too stupid not to have considered the 'substantial different alloy'? Do you suppose the 4x writing stragegy for low-speed cd-rw is the same as that for the high-speed cd-rw? -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- |

Or, is packet writing itself unstable under WIN 2000? ====================== From: Mike Richter Date: 6/27/01 Subject: What is Responsible for Packet Writing Instability? There is an inherent problem in UDF, particularly with fixed-length packets It is that the directory information for the disc is held and modified in RAM between loading the disc and ejecting it. Anything which precludes a complete, valid package being written back risks the whole disc. ====================== In the case of the UDF as implemented by DirectCD, the directory is not held in ram until the disc is ejected -- supposedly the inherent problem of UDF: ========================================== From: DeepOne Date: (7/9/00) Subject: CD-RW Disc broken on DirectCD Mike Richter (Acraptec ****) crapped (7/3/00): I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when ejecting a DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any writing at that time. Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to a DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased, I pressed the computer's RESET button.
