mine's real brand spankin' new
Aaron,
I don't burn much on Linux jsut because the tools seem much more
difficult to use, but on Windows I have a 42x CD and I cannot reliably
burn much above 30x.
Mark
how long have you had your burner?.....
mine is pooping out thesedays after a lot of wear and tear and im
getting about the same ratio of coasters too.
the other thing i'm guessing at is that maybe
cdrecord / xcdroast arent
compatible with 52x burners?....
now this is an interesting theory - ties into the other guy's suggestion of
burning slower. I'd bet that would work if not being compatible with 52x
was the problem
I did notice stuff like, on xcdroast, it would go to write the first track
and just apparentely haul ass - it would report that it was burning at like
243x - like WHOA slow down there cheeko! maybe forcing a certain speed
(slower than 52x) would prevent this from happening
