You will need to make an ISO image out of the files you want to burn before you can actually burn them. As far as the error messages you get at the end of the burn process go, you can most likely disregard them. I get them all of the time with an old Mitsumi burner, yet there are no problems with the Cds I burn. Having said that, I'd like to add the following: Exactly this very question where people try to burn "raw", i.e. non-ISOFS'ed files to a CD and then wonder why their CD doesn't work seems to turn up here at least once a week and at the most once per day. I'm currently not that informed about what's actually in the handbook, but could it be that the usage of burncd, as well as the need to create iso files before burning, is not really explained there and should be added? Or, is this question in the FAQ? It surely belongs there, as I have seen only very few questions being asked more often than this one.
