After some further investigation I found out, that the data is NOT
corrupted, but in a way truncated in DAO mode: When I read out the image
from the CD-RW drive, about 5kbyte are missing at the end (and doing
several burn, it is always the same amount). Strange enough if I read
the DAO burnt disk out by my DVD-ROM, the image can be read out
completely! Can you understand this behaviour? I don't think it is a
problem of my burner, but rather of the atapi driver?

Cheers,

Prakash
