It writes at over 5MB/s to my Pioneer DVR-105D, one major problem however - when it completes writing, it does not close (fixate) the disk properly. The readme lists the problem that the program produces an error to say it has failed closing but states that one can ignore the error message as the disc has been closed. In my tests this is not the case. For a version 0.0.2 I guess it's doing pretty well but until it can create readable CDs, it usefulness is hard to see. I have only tried on DVD-R disks so far, it may be that DVD-RWs are better. Cheers/2 Ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
