This was an imation CD. I expected it to be good enough. Besides, CDrecord doesn't always honor the cd you are specifying. It checks the media and sometimes lowers the speed to adjust for the media. In my case, for two CDs it decided to stick to 32x instead of the specified 40x and for the other it wrote in 40x.

Why is there a limit at all? - Sandip -- -------------------------------------------------------- Sandip Bhattacharya sandipb <@> bigfoot.com http://www.sandipb.net GPG/PGP: 0x08EB637C -------------------------------------------------------- ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
