Mike Richter on Packet Writing Format (ii)

"the fault is not with the software but with the format"
=============================================
Mike Richter (Hit&Run Mikey) wrote (6/16/03): Fixed-length packets are the least reliable and most fragile format available for CD recording. Use it at your own (substantial) risk.
Only substantial risk, Hit&Run? Why pussyfooting around, Hit&Run?
The word is "lethal." Is the word "lethal" no longer in your
vocabulary, Hit&Run?

Combining the flaky UDF fixed-length packets with
the tendency of erasables (particularly HS) to forget
is LETHAL for archiving.

( BTW, have you ever communicated with Roxio and OSTA about what you
call the flakiness of fixed-length packet format?
Asking because you won't least a bit squeamish communicating with
Plextor and Andy McFadden, letting them know their errant ways --and
made that fact public. )
