Do I have to explain the difference between "buffer overruns" and
"buffer underruns?" I wrote "buffer *underruns* are denoted as depicted
in originating post." And what did orignating post say? "INVALID ADDRESS
FOR WRITE!"

It surely depends on the fact you didn't care to *read*. I wrote "buffer
*overruns* are handled transparently," and not "buffer *underruns* are
handled transparently." Also note that my "how do you come to conclusion
that it's overrun condition?" was addressed to the requestor who stated
"it's buffer *overrun*," not to you.

I can't remember myself saying that DAO is worse. I said that other
modes, both non-DAO DVD- and DVD+ ones, are more *practical*, yet
provide for *adequate* compatibility with legacy DVD-ROM. In addition I
maintain that DVD+ is more practical/easier to deploy than DVD-. My
standpoint is and has always been that any technology deserve a trial
and noone should jump to conclusions before that actually give it a real
try.

I will if somebody else will tell me that I knew too little about DVD-
to implement support for DVD- multi-sessioning, Incremental Recording
and Restricted Overwrite.

As already mentioned one can argue with that, because buffer underrun
protection appears to be *optional* in DAO. Once again the exact quote
from latest Mt.Fuji draft (found at Pioneer site) is "If a buffer
under-run occurs [during DAO recording], the logical unit shall stop
writing immediately and the logical unit shall start writing of
Lead-out."

^^^^ ??? Increments recorded in Incremental recording mode
is subject to/affected by buffer underruns in *exact* same degree/way as
DAO. Keep in mind that a increment can be as large as track.

This is just unreasonable. Can you or anybody else actually quote *me*
saying that "growisofs is better?" I have expressed my preferences for
some technology or recording strategy. I could have said/implied that
"growisofs is more practical," but can you or anybody else actually
maintain that the latter would be a groundless statement? A.
