I am fairly new to recording CDs on the PC and have been mostly burning audio CDs from Vinyl recordings etc..
The problem is this: I seem to have a few CDs which have either "crashed" during burning right at the end of the process (I guess this is where the CD is trying to be closed) and one or two which have errors on the CD once burning has allegedly been completed successfully.
I have a fairly new PC AMD2600, 120GB HDD, 512M RAM, atapi 48*16*48 CDRW
Can you help identify the problem? Is it
a. dodgy CDs
b. software or driver errors
c. faulty hardware
All responses gratefully received
Thx

Would suggest updating drivers.
Is it a BURNproof drive? If not, are you doing other stuff while burning cd's... that can make it produce beermats.
Sometimes you will get better results burning at a lower speed.
CD burning doesn't seem to be an exact science, sometimes you will get a beermat for no apparent reason.

Some combinations of media type and drive don't work well together either - try a different brand of disc and see if you get better results.
If you're feeling brave, you may find that there's a firmware update available from the manufacturer of your drive that will improve things. I had all kinds of problems with my drive until I updated its firmware, now it's fine.

Thx for the replies
I now know what a beermat is
The software does have burnproof ticked (whatever that is)
I normally just leave the drive doin' its thang.
The discs I have have been both Philips and Imation (both 48*), I think its been just the Imation that's gone beermat
I will try reducing the burn sprred a bit.
Cheers
