The secret is that burners have common "image" file formats, so as long as
the data gets into the image file correctly, it burns correctly.

BTW wow do I like my CDRW, its a Sanyo BP1500 II drive in a QPS! bundle
with Nero 5.5, which means it burns CDs at 24x and the burnproof technology
means no bad burns.
