I have tried using X-CD-Roast, Gnome Toaster and Gcombust, receiving the same
result with all of these programmes each time I do a dummy burn. I tried
putting the value 8m (to indicate 8MB) for the FIFO buffer so that these
programmes can pass it on to cdrecord. This did not seem to make a
difference, though, and with about 45 seconds to go my HDD would start
churning and my FIFO buffer would run down to 0. I have also tried slowing
the burn speed to 6x (from 8x) and burning from a CD image, only to get the
same result. Could the problem be with my configuration rather than the
application settings? My drive has been set up automaticaly with Mandrake
7.2, but it didn't work propery when I had it set up in Mandrake 7.0 either.
Just in case, here is some of the cdrecord output generated by Gcombust and
X-CD-Roast. In the first three the burner is set at 8x burning, and in the
fourth it is configured to burn at 6x.
