I've heard (from folks on the 'net, and Plextor tech support) that there are problems with the 1.03 firmware. I upgraded mine to version 1.04 of the firmware, and haven't had any trouble with it. That said, it does sound like you might have a media problem. I would suggest talking to Joerg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de>, the author of cdrecord. Make sure you include the full output from your cdrecord session, and the brand/type information on the CD-R blanks that did and didn't work. Maybe you got a bad batch or something. It'll probably take someone more knowledgeable about CD-R's (e.g. Joerg) to figure it out.
