Yeah, lowering down the write speed really helps. Why don't u try xcdroast, it's
nice although it's still in the developlment stage.
The .98 alpha5 doesn't support multisession yet. You might want to add support for
ISO, Joliet and Rock-Ridge file systems. I just don't know how to specify this in
cdrecord but in xcdroast, you just check it.
