Each session burned to CD, uses 15Mb for it's own purposes. Meaning that if you write small files often, you'd be most definitely saving space with packet writing. Formatting the disc to use packet writing also uses some space, but if you write more than 2-3 sessions per disk, you'd be wasting space. -- janne "So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world." - Immanuel Kant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
