Try it with simply cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 filename.iso I got that 'simplified' CL from the cooker page, works every time ;) http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 ..even for 699mb iso's ..and who makes the media, not brand name, who really makes 'em? ..and how many mb's are you tryin' to burn to what size disk? A lot of your problem might be less than best quality cd-r's, but also too many extras on the CL, particularly '-data'. I've found I get the best results with a minimum amount of cdrecord options. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
