I didn't know what kinda of CD-R drive he has. I don't use CDREcord but
XCDRoast. But I was saying in General that is the problem with 80 Minute CDs
and I stated SOny as a example cause they clearly states that they give no
support to 80 Minute CDs. As for my Drive, my Plextor 20/8 is very 80 Minute
Friendly altough Linux Support is flakey right now :(

I know I'm using Outlook Express [WIndows] but my HD Hard Drive died and I'm
waiting for my new one to arrive in a couple of days. But I had a similar
problem to yours, what is the MODEL and the Make of Your CD-R Drive?
Some CD-R support 80 Min CD, some don't. Since 80 Minute CD-R aren't defined
in the Rainbow Books Specifications. For example, Sony doesn't support them
saying that they violete Rainbow Books rules. [The Rainbow Books define the
begining and end of the data track on CD-Rs and thus the length of the data
track.So for 80 minute CD-Rs, they have to pack the pits closer then what is
specifed in Rainbow Books [they define two standards, one for 74Minute and
one for 63Minute]]. Rainbow Books is the name of the set of books that
definte the CD Standards [they have Orange, Blue, Red, Yellow but I don't
remember which one is for which].
By your post, I assume your CD-R doesn't support 80 Minute CDs. Try the
following:
1. Try to read the 80 Minute CD-R Disc from teh CD-R Drive, if that works
your CD-ROM doesn't support 80 Minute CD's
2. Try to see if there's a FirmWare update on it and if there is try to
update the firmware, maybe they added 80 Minute CD-R Support. Otherwise, no
luck.
