Please note: data written to a formatted R/W disc is more prone to data loss compared to not formatting it and using regular burning software.

Writing to an optical disc using "direct to disc" methods like InCD is therefore not recommended if you value your data. It's the most unreliable form of disc burning there is. Convenient yes, but very unreliable.
