The software on consumer devices tends to be the kind of junk you would

Actually it works for me on Panasonic and RCA recorders and Panasonic
and Magnavox players in all combinations when I've renamed the program
and/or renamed the disc.

I've recorded as many as 8.

I do tend to see other strange errors, which may be software or hardware.
Things like refusing to finalize and just powering itself off in the middle
of a recording. I've also had cases of disc filling up after about 5 minutes
of recording on a fresh new disk just taken from a freshly unwrapped spindle
and where I can see just a little bit actually recorded on the backside.
