I do not recommend writing fixed-length packets

because the format is unreliable in practice.

That has little to do with the software.
=====================

( BTW, have you ever communicated with OSTA about what you call the
inherent flakiness and fragility 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. )

Suppose these DirectCD bugs have little to do with reliability?

-----------------------
DirectCD 3.05
Fixes

For some recorders, it was possible to select recording speeds that
were not in fact supported.

Some older, low-speed recorders cannot correctly write high-speed
rated CD-RW media, but DirectCD would formerly allow you to try.

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 ???
