If you are using Windoze, try Roxio EasyCD Creator. I find it works very well. I use Laser CD-R's and they seem to work to spec very well.

As RH has it disabled by default. As I can burn DVD-R's (At 4x DVD-R using X-CDRoast) and the transfer rate is way faster than CD-R. But it will only do that if DMA is enabled on the CD-R Drive.

(they are Good??) Anyway, the problem lies.. not in the CDR quality but the transfer rate from HD to CD-R. They simulation only gotten me like 24x-27x of transfer rate! That is the main problem.. I think.. HD's on UDMA5.

I'm using The Imation 48X CD-R's, with a Plextor 40x12x40 CD-R, and cdrecord, using the "driveropts=burnfree" option, and no matter what speed I specify, cdrecord seems to choose its own burn speed (faster or slower). If the media is is of high quality, it will burn at a faster rate. Last time I looked, Yamaha CD-R's were rated as the best, followed by CompUSA's CD-R's, and Imation was close by. Yamaha's CD-R's are more expensive, but you might try buying a couple and see what speed they will burn. Not all burners are equal. You did not mention what brand of burner you use. Have you checked for firmware updates for the drive? [Snip] ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
