Cdrecord Options

[fobius]

hi,

i'm trying to use cdrecord to burn some iso's. i've run:

cdrecord -scanbus

to see my burner's id and then i run the following command:

cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 speed=12 (iso)

the burner barely starts burning before i receive this message:

cdrecord: Drive needs to reload the media to return to proper status.
cdrecord: WARNING: Data may not fit on standard 74min disk.

why?

do this instead:

cdrecord -v -dev=0,0,0 speed=12 -data iso_filename

Out of curiosity, what is the size of the ISO image, and what is the size of the medium in which you are burning onto (Blank CDR)?
