  1. I had requested 1x writing as Microsoft suggested that for burning vista ISOs, but it burned at about 2x anyway. Then it verified about that slowly, too. I assume if it could compare ok at a much higher read speed it certainly could at a lower one. Could the verify phase get an option to run at top speed regardless of write speed, and then you could just slow down as necessary if that helps with crappy discs? I've run Diskeeper recently, and the ISOs are all contiguous files so the hard drive part should be pretty fast if there are at least two monster buffers for the iso file. Got 3G dram so please be a buffer pig. Once the heads are moved to the right cylinder, slurp up a LOT to save later seeks. I routinely give BitComet 1.6G for buffers (and it seldom uses it all) as it VERY NICELY makes excelent use of lots of space. I can have 4,500KBPS upload with SUSE ISOs and hundreds of peers, and 250 or so logical I/Os per second but REAL I/Os are under 20 per second thanks to clever C++ code and tons of buffer space. I know burning a DVD doesn't need all the random access torrents do, but buffers are goodness, and I was a tad distressed at your earlier minimalist buffer usage explaination.
