Hi, something strange happened here. I wanted to make a CD from some mp3 files, so I decoded them to wav using lame 3.92. As all looked ok, I fired up cdrecord and tried to burn them on a CD-R. But then I got the following error:

Under normal circumstances I would have said, this is a problem with my hardware (LG CED-8080B Fw.rev. 1.07), but until now, it worked flawlessly. I tried it a second time, and exactly the same happened at the same position (3 of 42 MB, track 2). Now I downloaded another mp3 file from the internet, decoded this one, and burned the cd without any problem! So I wonder how a wav file can cause a cdrecord error? Could it be any strange sequence of bytes which can trigger that? I'm quite sure it is no hardware error, as I can burn 10 cds in a row, without any problems, and already had about 150 successful burns without any errors. puzzled, Dirk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
