But do make sure to test that discs you burn at high speeds are mountable -
I've made coasters here and there by burning them too fast, including
coasters because they do mount up, but their el-torito boot image is
scorched too fast, and one reallt subtle one where a truly paranoid check
(diff against the tree I just mkisofs'd from) revealed about 5 files didn't
match themselves... I'd have been really sorry if I let that one go to the
developer team who needed it, so I was *really* glad I'd checked!
