It's not a function of InCD or of Drag-to-Disc. It is because DVD+RW is
eraseable and rewriteable at the byte (or even bit level). This is
something that DVD-RW cannot do (though having said that some DVD-RW
writers
are trying to have a good go at doing it - with varying degrees of
success).

In the case of InCD with no success at all. Practically no functionality
at all with DVD-ROM. Takes nearly five minutes to get the directory of
a disc ... I've stopped using DVD-ROM.


Do you mean DVD-R (or DVD+R)?

That should have been DVD-RAM.

If so, InCD doesn't support this media
(unless a very late revision has included it while I wasn't looking). If
you really mean DVD-ROM, then InCD has nothing to do with reading these as
they are not in incremental format.

No, but it purports to support DVD-RAM, as does the drive.


It will depend what format the DVD-RAM is in. Windows supports reading and
writing DVD-RAMs out of the box. However, it uses the standard DVD-RAM
format of FAT32. InCD uses a more exotic incremental format (which DVD-RAM
doesn't really need, but does work). Just put your DVD-RAM in and select
the Format option from right clicking the drive in Windows' 'My Computer'
and select FAT32 as the format. You can now drag and drop just like any
other writeable drive.

There is one 'gotcha' if you buy DVD-RAM disks that are pre-formatted in
DVD-VR format (as most now are for video recorders). Windows will read but
not write to this format. Further, Windows will not reformat such a disk
either. Although Drag-to-Disc will, InCD will not. Other propucts may
vary.
