Have you tried recreating the image? What program are you using under
windoze? I had one image once that would refuse to burn with cdrecord,
but burned fine with cdrwin--go figure. I've also had probably about five
images that went the other way (cdrecord was fine, but cdrwin had
problems). Chances are you don't have a bad batch of CD's. If they're
AZO (blue back) take a look for imperfections on the bottom, but this
doesn't sound like a CD problem. Another suggestions is -dummy is your
friend. When testing this (Especially after you have toasted one disc, do
test-burns to make sure you don't toast any more!)
Good Luck!
