Is anyone here using InCD with their CD-RW when they burn CD-RW cds? Wondering about something on InCD.

When you have to eject a CD-RW with using InCD can you press the button on the cd-rw or do you have to right click on InCD in your system tray then choose the cd-rw drive letter and choose enject?

You have to use the software to eject. Pressing the button on the drive does nothing.

Yeah, lockin the media in the drive is pretty common with packet writing software. Most need to do something like mark where it left off so it can pick up again when reinserted. The default for DirectCD is locked I believe also.

How do you change this so i can enject the cd-rw from the button instead? I do not like this. DirectCD i never had to do that i just pressed the button and out it came. But i rather use InCD because it seems to be alittle faster. Also does anyone here use InCD with 10x cd-rws and could you tell me how long a 400 mb file takes to get onto a 10x CD-RW you have with your burner? Seems like longer than it should. Should only take 5 mins and 40 secs about but it takes me 7 mins about. Or alittle more.

I just bought a new burner, but I didn't install Incd. i think the reason it takes more time is because it has to write more than just the files you put on it. (I think it is sorta like headers or something).

Good Luck

Willoughbyva well at the test on http://www.cdrlabs.com for my cd-rw it says it takes 5 mins and 33 secs to burn a 400 mb file on a 10x cd-rw. I have a 10x cd-rw and incd and it takes a total of 7 mins or alittle more. I timed it. Why is it so much longer?

Packet writing is totally different than direct data burning. Packet writing formats similar to a hard drive I believe,it has headers and probably CRC or some form of error correction for verification, so the drive can time itself to write into the packets (clusters whatever). So that the burning process can be stopped short of having to close a session for every file. All this is so the CD knows how to talk to all the data on itself.

I don't know how to turn it off in INcd from being locked. Direct CD simply had a setting to disable the warning screen that first comes up (or comes up everytime if you leave it on), which basically issues a software eject from reading a hardware request after user approval.

Does anyone out there know how?

I removed InCD from startup with msconfig.

The only time I use InCD is to format CD/RW discs. It seems to have no other useful function, and I don't like any programs running in background that I don't absolutely need. I also dislike the 'feature' of not being able to turn off InCD except by rebooting.

When InCD is not running, I can use the eject button just fine (Teac 24/10/40X and 98SE).

If Nero could format CD/RW media, I would never run InCD.

Hope this helps.
