    Goes under coffee cup to prevent stains.

    Plastic circular ones with hole in middle are easy to find.

    A failed burn (error during recording). If a disc burns successfully, but has playback problems, is unreadable, etc. it could also be considered a coaster.

    To sum it up, a wasted disc (of which the only use for, is as a coaster, hence the term).
    Some people say dog is mans best friend. I say that man is dog's best slave... At least that is what my dogs think.

    From the glossary (top left):

    https://www.videohelp.com/glossary?C#Coaster
    Coaster
    An authored disc that won't play, either due to improper authoring, poor media quality, or write error. The name is derived from the disc's uselessness as a DVD/VCD, may as well be used to set drinks on.
    If in doubt, Google it.
