ross...any word on this? i gotta burn a bunch of stuff - i know i can do it with toast but it burns better with MMB. i love this program...im still gettting "cue variant errors" on some of the stuff i try and burn. let me know!

Just curious
What do you mean MMB gives you better results than Toast?

Just wondering, I only use toast for my SVCD and such, never had a problem.

i was having some problems wit teh toast-burnt svcds, but with MMB all of the ones i have burned play flawlessly on my standalone pioneer.

This is from the VersionTracker review of MMB:

"I can burn fine as long as the data image is under the certified limit (on 650 and 700 cd-rs alike). But as soon as I try to overburn and exceed by just one meg, I get the "cue sheet variant" error."

Can someone verify this as true or not?

I too have the same problem on both my burners:
Pioneer DVR-A03 and firewire Smartdisk 8x8x24 (actually a TEAC inside).

Both work fine unless I ask to overburn. For overburns, I also get this same "cue sheet variant" error on both units. I doubt if it is a hardware/firmware issue.

Really would like to be able to overburn someday......

I also get the "cue sheet variant" error when trying to overburn. Otherwise, MMB works fine. I use Toast to burn SVCDs. But, if I need to overburn a data CD (i.e. a 715mb DivX .avi), I cannot use MMB whatsoever.

MMB is only a GUI for cdrdao (a ported unix bin); I think that's where the trouble lies. I have had great results using a similar program, "cdrecord." I just compiled it on my machine in Fink. There's info on how to use cdrecord in X here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/guajanai/OverburnOnAMac.html

I've only used cdrecord to overburn ISO images of DivX files, but it should, in theory, work just as great for SVCDs. I hope this has helped.

Cheers.
