jedi, it's because everyone I know gets far more coasters when burning duels vs single layer. Hence the nervousness and intimidation. And heck, some burners just ain't so good at it. A good friend of mine was getting a 35%+ coaster ratio so he replaced his burner and presto, now it's around ten %.

Then get a good burner and buy good blanks, I have yet(knocks on wood) burn a bad BD50, no coasters at all(knocks on wood again) pioneer burner and Verbatim blanks all the way.

Careful, my friend... You are responding without knowing the facts. He had a good burner and only used the best blanks. Yet he still ended up with lots of coasters. He got frustrated and bought a new burner and now its ok. His old burner is still in use for single layer discs (and always works perfectly).

Shit happens. I know plenty of people who get coasters here and there. As for me, ImgBurn is verifying my CONAN burn as I type this. Amazing how fast I was able to download it, by the way. I'll be able to pop it in my PS3 by ten PM if all goes well.
