Re: Burning ISOs

I'm surprised that nobody on this thread has mentioned the two most valuable 
tips when having problems with CD-burning quality:

 * Burn at low speeds.  8x is usually good, 4x is failsafe.
 * Get quality media.  Nothing results in more coasters than poor-quality 
media.

Pretty much any tool is going to use cdrecord on the backend, so you just need 
to figure out what options to set.  Start by adjusting speed options.  Try to 
keep your system idle while burning, and make sure you have decent throughput 
to your drive.

Many tools, including K3B, support verification of the written data, but this 
is only a secondary measure.  It is much better to avoid problems in the 
first place rather than have to detect them afterwards.
