I own a PleXWriter 24/10/40A, and, whenever i burn 80 mins CD's filled to end (about 700Mb), i always get a buffer underrun while writing the lead-out. It never happens with 74min cd's. Before returning the drive, does anyone have a clue or a suggestion? I really would appreciate.

And a few more USB, but nothing heavy

What burning software are you using? You should check the manufacturer's site for a software update.

MacGyver, I'm using ahead Nero 5.5.8.2.
AlienDyne, what do you mean with that? If you're saying that the cd is not 80 min, maybe, but they got a tag with 80 min explicitly, and the Medium Info reports correctly. If you're saying that my burner can't support it... impossible.

At last good news for me. It seems it was a firmware problem. Upgraded the recorder to 1.04 and everything seems fine...
I'm putting here Plextor description...

"...
PX-W2410TA/TU V1.04
Fixed Bugs:
Hang-up during CD-RW erase
Hang-up during copy of Mixed Mode CD by means of Easy CDCreator V5.1.1.102
Added:
Support for newer CD-R media (Tayo Yuden 40X, Verbatim 40X)
Support for latest Orange Book Part2 Vol2 V1.1 specification
Improvements:
Write performance for various discs, types and speeds
Burn-Proof cannot occur during the writing of Lead-Out anymore
... "

Thanx to all of u guys

BTW, I'm glad it was the firmware version.

Well, it would be very strange, because i'd tried to burn a cd from the same lot, in a friends bruner, and it burned well a 700 mb file...
