You wouldn't believe how many CD's I burn. I've got more
than a half dozen to do today. Long ago I gave up on GUI's an
learned to burn iso's, data, audio CD's on the CL. It's actually
easier than with a GUI, but it's not always bulletproof.
The above looks like a problem with the image being burned.
iso's are already an image file, but data (data flat files to
mp3's to movies, .avi, .mpg, .wmv, etc.) need to be made into an
image before they can be burned to CDr. I use an alias,
(alias mkcdimg='mkisofs -r -o cd_image') so for example,
'mkcdimg name_of.avi' makes an image (cd_image) ready for
burning. Then 'bdcd cd_image' makes the CD.
(alias bdcd='cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=24
dev=ATA:1,1,0 -data')
With most GUI's you won't see this 'image' process as the GUI
does it on the fly while burning it to CD. Which often can
introduce errors into the image. Another reason I avoid GUI's
for burning.
Occasionally cdrecord errors as it did for you. In those
cases, using movies as an example, I re-encode the movie using
mencoder, and then re-make the image, then it burns without
error. mp3's can be a similar problem so it's a prudent idea to
check them before makin an image using 'mp3_check'. If that
turns up a lot of errors in the files, the last resort is to try
converting to .wav's and then back to mp3's, or use somethin like
'mp32ogg' to re-encode them.
IOW's, I believe your error is from tryin to make an image
and burn on the fly with a GUI, or the files are just bad to
begin with. Next culprits could be a poor burner, or deficient
media, or burning too fast. Tho cdrecord often ignores your
requested speed, and burns at what it determines as optimum.
