Packet writing and different media
I'm about to get a DVD burner and find myself wondering about packet
writing. I've long since abandoned it on CDs except for one disc, and even them, I only came back to it with a Mt. Rainier capable drive and have had luck so far. Since DVDs offer the same choice of mastering and packet writing, I'm wondering if the same problems avait us. They're much larger than CDs so packet writing seems even more attractive to put all that space to the maximum use. Since DVDs even use the same software for their packet writing, I'm wondering if DVDs are shomehow different, and not as prone to trouble when using packet writing. Any comments are welcome. Rick. -+--- http://www.alienshore.com/seeking/ |

Few data are available yet, but reports so far and some preliminary quantitative analysis indicate that erasable DVDs are no more reliable than erasable CDs. If you mean variable-length packets, they should be fine on DVD as they usually are on CD. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |
