I hate to slam burncd because it does the job, but I've always found 
cdrecord / mkisofs to be a better set of software for burning CDs than 
burncd.. Besides, burncd chokes on permission errors on my machine 
whereas cdrecord keeps on humming away with issue, and I've been using 
it for 2 releases now (6.1, 6.2).
