It's a 800Mhz Celeron running a 16x burner (but I slowed down to > 8x after the first coaster, the third CD burned at 16x).

Do you get a buffer underrun? Go to the directory where the iso is placed and try: cdrecord -v -eject -dummy speed=16 dev=0,0,0 ./filename.iso cdrecord -v -eject -dummy speed=8 dev=0,0,0 ./filename.iso cdrecord -v -eject -dummy speed=4 dev=0,0,0 ./filename.iso cdrecord -v -eject -dummy speed=2 dev=0,0,0 ./filename.iso cdrecord -v -eject -dummy speed=1 dev=0,0,0 ./filename.iso and see which one works for you. The -dummy switch makes sure no data is actually burnt to the disc. -- Good luck Roman
