need help troubleshooting cdrecord

[Peep]

I've been through the tutorials (http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4737) and still can't get my ML9.1 desktop to use cdrecord without errors. This is what I get. Can anyone see the problem here? hopefully it's something easy and stupid :)

ok, weird. hopefully i just solved my own problem. i just tried it with a different brand cd-r (both 80 min, 700mb, and this time it worked. both brands worked under windows once upon a time, but fuji must work better under linux than prime peripherals.

 

now it looks like i need to work on mkisofs... my cd burned but only had one big track and doesn't play right. i must've messed up making the ISO.

ok, i realized that the tutorial above was for DATA cds. and i was copying an AUDIO cd. (duh).

 

I finally got it to work with

cdrdao copy --device 0,0,0 --driver generic-mmc --speed 4 --keepimage

 

i used "--keepimage" because i was making so many coasters, i thought i'd rather not have to keep reading the audio cd over and over (wasn't doing it on the fly). for whatever reason, i think i was getting buffer underruns. it finally worked when i lowered the speed to 4x and closed everything else running that i could.
