Subject: Re: Unpredictable Failures Burning CD-R
My own hunch would be that you're trying to burn at a rate
greater than that which can actually be supported reliably
by the blank CD-R media you are using - the CD-RW drive
is having trouble tracking the disc, and it's kicking back
the bad-logical-block error when it loses the track.
You're probably facing two issues here:
- CMC Magnetics is one of the second- or third-tier CD-R
manufacturers. They don't have a reputation for the highest
disc quality.
- 80-minute CD-R discs are inherently more difficult to burn
and play back than 74-minute discs, because their inter-track
pitch and inter-pit spacing has been reduced to the lower
limits permitted by the Red/Orange Book specs.
I'd suggest using 74-minute / 650 MB blanks whenever possible,
and trying a brand with a better reputation for reliability.
I've had good luck with Kodak, and with the 74-minute TDK blanks
available in 50-disc cakeboxes at Price Costco.
