I suspect you may not have enough CPU.  I know the write rate is pretty low
for CDs, but I would try to reduce the write speed to 1x and try to run 2
simultaneously.  Unless you have an insidiously slow system, this should
work.  If it doesn't, suspect problems with running multiple copies.

I am assuming one copy works ...
