I had one image once that would refuse to burn with cdrecord, but burned fine with cdrwin--go figure. I've also had probably about five images that went the other way (cdrecord was fine, but cdrwin had problems). Chances are you don't have a bad batch of CD's. If they're AZO (blue back) take a look for imperfections on the bottom, but this doesn't sound like a CD problem. Another suggestions is -dummy is your friend. When testing this (Especially after you have toasted one disc, do test-burns to make sure you don't toast any more!) Good Luck! -Dano
