hi doc, i use k3b for my burning needs and most of the time the screensaver kicks in during the burn-in process since i usually burn at 1x or 2x speed and leave my machine to finish the process. i have never had an issue with the created discs. one time i replicated a disc from a norton ghost image set and i am still using the replicated disc here to rebuild workstations. if there was a corruption on the written discs then i should have encountered problems on the workstations that i have rebuilt since then. the replicated disc is the first part in a set of 3 thus majority of the writable space is used. i have not experienced the machine/laptop from going into hibernation while burning a disc so that might be an entirely new matter. ciao! -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
