i am trying packet writing on a CD-R. whats the concept of writing the VAT. should the VAT be written everytime a packet is written or the VAT should be written at the end, when the disk is ejected.
iam regulary updating the VAT as and when entries are added or deleted.
I think DirectCD in windows only updates the VAT when the disc is unmounted (ejected). Whether this is smart or not is another question. I guess it wastes less disc space, but if the computer crashes before you unmount the disc, the disc will probably become unusable. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
