Out of curiosity, what happens to the error rate when you reduce the
burn speed from maximum to say 2-4x ?
CDs have a much wider track pitch than DVD (and hence tolerance to
error) due to the 8x less data, so a slight misalignment of the servos
might not affect a CD write as much as a DVD write
HTH
