most likely. That cdrecord output you posted there was at 31% fifo fill... that's hardly a good level. And then: Sense Code: 0x0C Qual 0x09 (write error - loss of streaming) Fru 0x0 "Loss of streaming"... > Is this a DMA issue? I read some posts here before regarding turning on DMA just in case: hdparm -d1 /dev/devicename However i would not bet on DMA being the problem. As a rule of thumb, i NEVER do cd-to-cd copy on the fly. It is faster, yes, but what happens when dd if=/dev/cdrom gets stuck trying to read one sector from beneath a scratch in the middle of the burning session? At 16x speed, it's really not hard to get a buffer underrun... If you are absolutely in love with this method, try lower speeds and always make sure the original CD is in good condition. > with hdparm. Could this help? Probably, a bit. Damian
