Are the disks actually bad after the various errors? I have found, to my 
confusion, that cdrecord will only burn using DAO with my drive. TAO gives 
the same problems as you are having, but usually 9 times out of 10.

I find that unless it has actually started a burn, the disk is generally 
fine, and it's usually something to do with an inane setting someplace, a 
permissions thing, or me being foolish :)

What are the permissions on cdrecord and cdrdao?

Cheers,

Craig
