Yeah, seems to be a buffer underrun problem. I just don't get it - my
computer stats:
PIII 1gHz, 512 mb RAM, 40gb hard (apprx. 10 free), only one small program in
the background. Come on!
But as I said: 4x burn , no progs, lots of pray. That works out.

This sounds more like a PC performance problem. Are the CD's failing
mid-burn with a buffer underrun? I don't know what the Danish error
message would call it.
Basically your computer isn't supplying data to the burner at the right
pace, so you need to do whatever you can to facilitate that function -
no screensaver, no activity, defrag your hard drive, shut down every
task in your task list that you can get by without (a lot of them sit
there polling various functions to see if they should do something).
Obviously, faster computers, better burners, better hard disks and
better software mean that it is quite possible to burn CDs while doing
other things, but if you haven't got the right combination, you might
need to take those extra steps.
