I just purchased a Yamaha 3200 burner http://www.cdrecordingsoftware.com/yam3200ez.html that offers the Mt. Rainer format support http://www.yamaha.ca/computer/cp_mrainier.asp .

It came bundled with Nero and InCD. InCD 3.21 will format CD-R/W disks as CD-MRW . It is quite amazing to do a full format in 15 secs rather than 15 minutes.

Has anyone had much experience with CD-MRW and if so what are the pros and cons.

TIA

No but I was just doing some reading on this the other day in PC World Mag m8. And apparently it can be read quite well by most all non Mt Ranier drives as well, which is a big plus.
I'm sure as they roll this out more & more we will be seeing more articles concerning it. Looks like they are also working on 24x CDRW media at the present time as well. And I read where a couple.. I think LG was one... drives can be firmware upgraded to the Mt Ranier spec :) :)


btw nice to see you about again ole M8!

Thanks for the reply Hoss. So far so good with the burner. I'm running Nero with it, of course, and have installed InCD because it supports the CD-MRW format. I imagine if it catches on we'll see other packet writing software jumping on board.

Yes it is good to see your handle too. I've been lurking here for a bit but haven't gotten around to posting much. I've been pretty busy testing SP1 as well as the Windows .Net OS. When beta testing I spend a lot of time in the beta groups but need to get back here from time to time to get grounded
