    Sorry for the previous post. I just noticed that the tracks I'm trying to
    record are 732M in total, and the disc has 650M of capacity. I didn't notice
    the problem before because I was using discs declaring 700M of capacity, and
    thus the recording succeeded.

    I never thought I should worry about reading that number on the CD case!
    And I assumed it was complaining about a full disk because I had had the
    same error last week, and that was the reason, the CD was not empty.

    Regards,

                                    Victor
