In my previous posts, I encountered errors on this media, but that was my fault though. I was burning on a slow pc (pentium 3 - 500mhz) while having several p2p software downloading simultaneously and virus scans running in the background, etc. In other words, you will get errors no matter what media you use, if the source (PC) is too slow.
