re: CD -R writing compatibility b/t InCD (Nero) and DirectCD (Roxio) Friday, January 23, 2004 at 2:54 pm Posted by Ricer46 (23825 messages posted) There is no compatibility, DirectCD is not even compatible within versions of itself.

Thanks, Ricer46.

Packet writing with the time spent formating is really no advantage. Plus I find better results having them read on other PC's. Wait till this new packet writing comes out that is built into the CD-Rw Rom, called Mt Rainer. You probably won't be able to read anyone else CDR's until they get it figured out. Can't wait.

Rainer format as InCD supports it and I think defaults to it. directCD may not be able to write to it. Thanks, sTeve. This from InCD pdf: 1.2.2 Available packet-writing software InCD is not compatible with other packet-writing software - so any other application of this type present must be removed before InCD can be installed. Prior to installation, InCD will check which applications have already been installed, and close the setup process if a different packet-writing software package is found. If this happens, a window will appear to draw your attention to the fact. 1.2.3 CD-MRW (Mount Rainier) It is only possible to format media in the Mount Rainier format when using recorders that support the format. In order to format media in the so-called CD-MRW (Mount Rainier) format, the corresponding check box must first be selected when formatting with InCD. This turns a CD-RW medium into a CD-MRW one. Drives without CD-MRW support can only use these media with the aid of a 'remapper’ (see also the following Section 'Remappers'). The check box is located on the 'InCD Page Settings' card and is only visible if the recorder supports this function. It is described in detail in the 'CD-MRW' section. You can also find out more about Mount Rainier at http://www.mt-rainier.org. On Friday, January 23, 2004 at 3:10 pm, sTeve wrote: > >I only use CDRW's like regular CDR 's anymore.

Like any new standards it will take time to sort out, and I am sure create a lot of headaches for people sharing CDRW media between computers. You get to lead this learning curve and share all you learn with us. In time all the new puter will have "MT Rainer" drives built in. Thankyou for the added information.
