Just as a further point of reference, I also found that -s max caused the
DVD+RW drive in my laptop (6.1), and the CD writer in my desktop PC at
home (5.4), to make shiny coasters. Setting an actual speed worked fine,
except for a further odd problem on the DVD+RW laptop drive.
I've never tried -s, so I can't speak to that.
burncd data image.iso
works fine, but
burncd data image.iso fixate
causes an I/O error at the fixate stage - exactly as though the drive (or
utiliy, or OS) has memorised the fact that the drive contains a blank CD
and continues to treat it as empty media even after writing to it.
I have *never* had this problem with burncd. I always burn like this:
burncd -ef /dev/acd1 data file.iso fixate
I have burned a *bunch* of cds, and I've never once had a problem doing
this.
