		If you are sure that the disc is new and has no data on it, click Cancel, follow the instructions to eject the CD and re-insert the CD.
		Note: While the DirectCD format is very convenient to use, its disadvantage is that it can hold approximately 530 MB as compared to over 600 MB for other formats of writing CDs (that take longer to write).
		Also, DirectCD is only for data discs; it cannot be used to create audio discs.

	r o x i o \| DirectCD for Windows Technical FAQs
		The problem was first discovered in DirectCD 3.03, depending upon the level of used physical memory size in the task manager.
		Roxio is trying to resolve the issue, which may be less common under DirectCD 3.05, in which the CD Eject dialogue is turned off.
		However, DirectCD is designed not always to write in the first available space on the disc, so you won't be erasing and rewriting to the same physical location over and over.

	DirectCD
		DirectCD is a software program made by Adaptec.
		Unlike other recording software which force you to create a copy of all data to be recorded at once, DirectCD allows you to incrementally add files on to the CD disk.
		Not as much information can be stored when using DirectCD as compared to making a recording using other software such as EZ CD creator.

	r o x i o \| Living with DirectCD
		DirectCD is a good example of this new kind of software: at its core are drivers which allow you to treat a CD-R/RW disc like a giant floppy diskette.
		Before proceeding, bear in mind that DirectCD is a well-behaved application, which can always be called by clicking its icon in the System Tray (usually at the far right side of the Windows Taskbar at the bottom of your screen).
		In order to use DirectCD as quickly and transparently as possible, you may choose to disable almost all signs of its 'independence,' so that the only thing you see is its icon in the System Tray.

		DirectCD formatted disks require DirectCD software to be installed in order to write to them.

	Hydrogenaudio Forums -> Rewritable DVDs & DirectCD Packet-Writing Software
		The roxio software is fairly infamous for doing a lot of low level alterations in windows that have the potential to screw things up in bad ways.
		DirectCD v3 is too old, it does not know how to write a DVD-/+RW.
		With my DirectCD v3.01, I am able to open the D:\ drive icon (representing my HP CD-RW drive) in Windows Explorer or in My Computer and view, add, delete, modify files and folders just like I can if I were to open my floppy A:\ drive.

	Adaptec Easy CD Creator Review
		DirectCD: DirectCD formats your CD-R discs in a file system based on UDF v1.5, which is a standard that allows CD-Rs to be read to and accessed just as a standard floppy or hard disk drive.
		When ejecting a DirectCD disc, you are given the option of leaving it as-is, or converting it to ISO 9660 format, which will close the session and allow it to then be read from any CD-ROM drive.
		DirectCD includes a CD-RW Eraser, a simple, intuitive program that takes about 1-2 minutes to erase a CD-RW disc, and ScanDisc, a utility very similar to Windows' ScanDisk that searches for and repairs errors in the disc sectors.

	Writable CD, software-free: DirectCD and PacketCD turn 2.0 Emedia Professional - Find Articles
		Even though either DirectCD or PacketCD or both apparently take some liberties with the UDF specification, since their discs are only interchangeable under certain circumstances, it's a good bet that future versions will clean up these incompatibilities, whatever their origin.
		PacketCD can write to a disc that has been formatted but not written first by DirectCD, but DirectCD will not recognize or write to a disc that was formatted by PacketCD, unless you have first written data to that disc with PacketCD.
		The other option is to format with DirectCD, then transfer the disc to a PacketCD machine which will recognize and use the disc without the necessity of having to write data to it with DirectCD first.

	CD Packet-Writing [XARC 3307]
		As far as I know, they both follow some sort of industry standard (I'm not an expert on this subject and I can't off hand, give you the name of the standard) in such a way that a CD which was created in the packet-writing format is compatible with one another.
		On the other hand, InCD and DirectCD (as I said earlier, they are not just an application but rather a serious device driver that will be resident ---- analogous to the good old days' TSR) cannot co-exist.
		The good news is, either of the tools are to be installed independent from the rest of their respective software package and therefore, you may selectively install either InCD (I recommend) or DirectCD (I don't recommend) while you may install both of the rest of the CD/DVD authoring tools.
