I'm quite sure this is not true. The burning process and the error correction mechanisms employed on compact disks is complete agnostic towards the nature of the data stored on the medium. From anything below the application level, the data on the CD is just ones and zeroes (and the occasional out-of-band data such as track boundaries) whose likelyhood of read or write error is the same regardless of the entropy of the data stream it's a part of. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
