Hi all, recently I started noticing some errors which come from the last (fix) step in the burning process. They happen both in dummy and 'real' mode. However and in spite of the errors, the burned CD looks OK. I can mount it, browse it, etc. No need to -fix it a second time. It happened both burning an iso image and an hfs (Mac) image (in this cases I paid a little more atention, but it happened before too). AFAIR it does not happen when burning audio discs. Perhaps a symptom of my CD-R starting to die? Below is the output of one of these sessions.
