I have a Lite-On 12x burner, and a Sony 40x burner. The Lite-On chokes on
quite a few iso's these days, but works on others all right (sometimes
slowing down the burn to 1x fixes things, sometimes not). The Sony burns
everything ok at 16x (I bought 1000 16x cdr's a year ago, they aren't all
gone yet :-)). Your drive's laser is probably a little weak (or dirty).
FWIW...

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even
built
with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll
give
it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.'
And
they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we
don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'"
