This requires that packet writing be enabled and results can vary with

However, the short answer is it is not a good idea to directly write to
optical media this way. Though manufacturers quote values that you get
away with 1000s of writes on a CD/RW, the practical answer seems to be
more in the 100s of writes. The CD will probably fail quite quickly.
An alternative that might be useful is to set up a virtual mount to an
image and only burn the image when you finished with it. At the moment I
know of no tool (with the possible exception of K3b) can set up and
manage such a configuration.
I have no experience of using this kind of mount, others may be able to
help with this aspect. I have a feeling a daemon to setup and manage
this kind of virtually mounted CD/DVD image might be rather useful if it
does not exist already.

How do I format a CD RW to be a udf disk so I can drag and drop to it instead
of a floppy drive. Could not find answer on k3b website. Only option in
program is erase CD. No format option. Burn allows me to do it but I was
under
the impression I could set the CDRW to act like a floppy. The one method I
found searching through google did not work.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
