I think something on your system is broken. I just burned a FreeBSD 4.3 install iso using Nero 5.0 @ 16x and it burned just fine. I didn't have one on hand and downloaded it today. You might try using a lower burn rate. Make sure you aren't doing something like burning at 16x on 4x media. I have some 6x media that I am getting rid of. So far it has been successfull burning at 8x. I have media rated at 16x if one fails and reburn at that speed. BTW, the defaults that Nero used worked. The only other thing is your iso can't be on the same IDE controller as your CDROM. If it is, you have to drop the rate because of contention.
