Mike Richter: CD-R FAQ has Significant Errors

=================================
From: "ned ludd"

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.

Mike Richter - The Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB (UDF)
================================================== =

Mike Richter has been for YEARS blaming the UDF -- to weasel out the
bugs of DirectCD:

-----------------------------------------
Packet writing is the same as UDF

UDF is a fragile format
UDF is an unreliable format
There is an inherent problem in UDF

the format is very fragile and unreliable
The format is bad - it loses data

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.

I have tested non-HighSpeed erasables in my 12x HighSpeed

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.

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.

Subject: High and low speed CDRW - compatibility

Since i have Plex 8432 and i'm intend to buy Liteon 40 x or 48 x
i wonder: I have some 4x speed CDRW's - will i be able to use
(rewrite) them in new drive too or not (with 4x speed, of course)?

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's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (inherent)
================================================== =====

This is Mikey's response to the question why Roxio's DirectCD causes
Win2k system unstable: Is it Roxio? 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:

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.

After the computer restarted, the CD-RW disc was fine, and all
the files I had just written were fully accessible.
