In this case the individual media is to blame. At least in conjunction with my burner device. The annoying problem with DVD burning is that it is so hard to predict wether an individual combination of burner and media will work flawlessly. So, in case of trouble, one will most often get the advice to either use other media or upgrade the drive's firmware. Of course, this is the expression of pure helplessness. We are poking in the mist by help of very long sticks. > Does that cause by the "on-the-fly" burn using growisofs? It should not. (But who knows for sure ?) Modern burners are protected against buffer underrun which used to be the main problem of burning on-the-fly with old CD recorders. Up to now i could not find a correlation between obvious slowdowns of the feeding data stream and failure to checkread the resulting media.
