That may (or may not) be true, but I was under the impression that CD writing protocols were pretty standard. Is that not the case? Just so you know, I'm a bit hesitant to go and buy another set of discs since I know the ones I have do work, just not in Debian. I'll probably use these up by creating an image then burning it in Windows until I run out of discs before I get a new set to try. That's the fault of my silly initial assumption that they would've standardised this shit by now. > > Yes, it makes no difference at all. > > In my case, speed=1 helps.

I have no idea what it would be like on a dual layer disc, I only have access to single layer discs. Peace, Brendon
