Make sure you buy good quality media (e.g. not all > Verbatims are good either!) -- see "Blank Media & Quality FAQ" Ironically, with my older LG single-layer burner, I burned a lot more DVD coasters with brand-name Memorex discs than I did with no-name discs. On my new Samsung dual-layer burner, I haven't burned any coasters* except when something external happened (like droping the X server out from under the shell running the burn -- accidentally of course :-). *with single-layer media, that is. I have yet to try dual-layer media. PS: I use growisofs from the command line for all my DVD burning needs, and cdrecord for CD burning (also from the shell). I don't need no steenkin' GUI. :-) Ben -- _ Ben Steeves bcs@xxxxxxxxxx ( ) The ASCII ribbon campaign ben.steeves@xxxxxx X against HTML e-mail GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 / \ http://www.metacon.ca/ascii Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
