IIRC, it turned out to be a combination of factors. I have a USB burner 
(slow, but meets my needs), and the cable was bad. Not bad enough to 
completely fail, just bad enough to flake out under the sustained 
throughput of a full CD burn. I had also bought a different brand of 
CD, and it seems this particular burner does not like Memorex. Every 
disk I tried to burn failed even after getting a new cable - they 
finished burning but failed verification or were unreadable if not 
verified, but I could burn disks from the same package in another 
burner, no problem. Buying either TDK or CompUSA storebrand cd's solved 
that problem. I would never have thought of the CD's if I hadn't seen a 
similar thing happen once before.

Bert, did you ever solve this?  I am having exactly the same problem
burning ISOs with Disk Copy.  I'm trying to remember when the problem
started, it was a specific MacOS upgrade.  CD burning for me worked
for some period between 10.0 and 10.1.5, but I don't remember which
versions.  At some point, one of the upgrades broke things, so that
Disk Copy no longer burns correctly.  iTunes can make Audio CDs.  I'm
using a MITSUMI CR-4804TE.


Thanks for any help!
