Sure wish all three passed so I could start ignoring the "verify
fails" messages even though a sample set of three is nearly
meaningless.
yea. lol Consistency would help. I even tried copying off the DVD
to the HD before doing the verify to see if there was some sort of
read cycle issue on the +RW media. No diff.

What if it is something between the mobo and burner? A bad cable

That wouldn't explain the actual issue that Dan's narrowed it down
to, which is that Burn needs a lot of free memory to work; bad
hardware like that would show itself even with maximum free memory.
*nod* But next time I'm in there, I'm going to pull and clean that
IDE cable. Maybe swap it out. Can't hurt to try, I guess.
I think Dan's either got a subtly messed up OS X install, found some
obscure bug in the hdiutil program (the common point between Burn
and Finder's burning capability, I suspect), or simply does this
more than anyone else in the world...which I doubt.
Tried while booted on a master OS X 10.4.11. Same problems. Going
to try 10.5 shortly.
At this point, Dan, what I'd suggest is go ahead and use the purge
sledgehammer as needed; you could probably even write an applescript
or bash script, wrap it up with Platypus
(<http://sveinbjorn.org/platypus>, which have I mentioned lately how
much I Love, LOVE LOVE this tool?) and make a droplet that purges
your VM before burning.
oOo I forgot about Platypus! That would be a great wrapper - purge
& launch burn automagically. Nice! Thx!
Maybe log off and back in before a burning session and don't do anything else.
That's the last thing I want to do. It's anti-productive. heh.
I've taken to turning off JavaScript in Safari. That way it doesn't
chew as much memory - so I can surf while burning.
