Maybe this is a bug I have just installed a brand new 52x writer and if
I cut @ anything over 16x my discs fail,
I swopped the writer three times and the same thing happens, I have
since changed the brand twice and I get the same results on 4 different
systems ranging from my first PC a p3 900 256mb ram
to my new P4 3gig with 1 gig ram. The funny thing is its no linux
because Windoze also does this

If you say the hardware is not operating properly then there must be a
manufacturing flaw in all these device, which is not impossible.
I will let the manufacturers know (Mitsumi, LG , MSi)

My 2 cents
