Britt, this is a difficult question but i try to answer it. Not all information here will be absolutely accurate but this is not because i do not want to tell you it's simply because i do not know better. Now the top ten list why CD-Recorders cannot link write commands: 10. To help CD-WO media manufacturers double their income 9. Otherwise nobody would buy those expensive A/V drives 8. To get some suspense in the process of cutting disks 7. Because the standard (Orange Book) says so 6. To make software producers like me work out solutions to that problem 5. because it has always been so 4. to give me the opportunity of competing with D.L. 3. to trouble some CD pressing plants 2. It's getting hard finding additional reasons But the top ten reason why CD Recorders cannot link write commands is: the CIRC encoder which will devide the content of one CD sector into blocks and interleve these blocks with blocks from two other sectors. In order to record one sector you have to write three sectors to have all information flushed to disc. Peter
