Exactly. And in making a "data CD" or DVD you have the option of doing all sorts of things to ensure overburning works, such as setting DAO mode and dropping the speed down.

Go figure. I'm sure there's some reason.

Not sure what DAO mode is, but when I turn on overburning, I am still able to select the speed. I have a Samsung device that can read DVD's or CD's and burn CD's. Greg Wallace

Disc-at-Once (DaO). In the original and _true_ definition, it means the laser is _never_ turned off. I.e., it's mutually exclusive with "burn proof." True DaO can increase both media longevity and pre-2004 DVD player compatibility. True DaO requires you drive the record with a character device (byte-by-byte). Today, most DVD recorder drives are driven by block device and easier to use software. So DaO means something entirely different these days. This is a mega-simplification of a very long story with literally dozens of variables -- drive/media type, firmware/command approach, etc... I've been using DVD-RAM for optical archiving since 1997, and DVD-R for similar duties since 1999. And there's reasons I _never_ use CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW.
