I don't know if it's known, but I have the identical issue with a plextor CDRW drive. A few others have had it too--it gives that error, but the CD is ok. (There was one other fellow who had the issue, don't remember if it was a Plextor, but in his case, he got the error after 3 or 4 seconds and the CD wasn't successfully burned.) I remember googling for it several months ago, but didn't find any answers. > > Is it worth pursuing? I didn't find it so. I guess this is one of those things where I think, gee I wish someone would fix this but can't see filling out a PR where the how to reproduce is, "Come to my job and try to burn a CD on this one machine." I suspect such a report might not get preferential treatment. :) I don't know if it's a Plextor issue either, I seem to remember people with other drives having the same problem. Of the two machines where I burn CDs, the Plextor one is the one with the problem, the other machine, with some no name drive does't have it. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: I'm weak.
