Re: 80 min CD burning
Wish I had some of those blanks. I did not know they exist. I use
scripts to control the command line tools. I use 74 min discs.
I found that cdrecord
fails if I try to write too much to the disc. The disks are ruined.
But cdrdao writes
all 80 minutes without complaining ( it gives a warning). The disks
are playable, but the last few minutes are cut off.
But it may be just due to the command line params that I give and so forth.
