I forgot to mention that my friend who was helping me learn to use Nero later reported having seen a message about "under run" when we burned at 2x speed. I later tried to do the same thing at 1x speed. The two CD's were identical in the gobbledy-goop for the last track burned.
I take it that under run means something like this. Say you have a spray paint gun attached to a container of paint. The gun is the CD burner head, the container of paint is the buffer. If you keep spraying paint (writing on the CD), the container (buffer) gets empty quickly. You gotta keep the container at least partially full to keep the supply of paint to the spray gun, otherwise you get splotches in what you're painting or burning. Apparently my friend's CD burner has under run protection so the buffer never gets empty, or something like that.
