When I need to format a disc, I can't access the tickmarks for close program, eject and close computer before the program has finished formatting. This implies that I have to return to the computer and place the tickmarks 10 - 20 mins later or accept the computer starts playing the content of the disc.
With tickmarks on the front page the burning process would be one single action.
Maybe the front page would be more crowded and less pretty, but for me more functional.
