I see your points but it just finished burning about 6 more very full |
| 35 |
DVDs with not one single error. They burned with no prompts other than |
| 36 |
the usual things it does to confirm what I am doing, such as overwriting |
| 37 |
a DVD with data on it. Since it was failing basically every time |
| 38 |
before and has not failed since downgrading cdrtools, it appears not to |
| 39 |
be hardware but a software issue. I guess I could install the newer |
| 40 |
version of cdrtools and see if it fails again. If it does, then it is |
| 41 |
software. If not, then I'm not sure what to think really. Well, I |
| 42 |
think I will switch back to this version of cdrtools since it works. ;-) |

Since I deleted the old backups, I would have to create a new set tho. I |
| 45 |
remove them as I burn them since it sort of fills that partition up |
| 46 |
pretty quick. I tend to forget to delete them if I don't do it at the |
| 47 |
time. |
