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.

Well then maybe you should state all of them then, I can only respond to what you have typed and I am able to read right? so my answers stand.

Burner, Discs and Imgburn, what else is there that can make so many coasters? unless you do not know what to set the speed to, these are all that is needed, but who cares it seems you got it now so just enjoy and we will just leave it at that.
