I seem to recall having some difficulty when trying to burn CDs 
on a DVD capable drive using burncd.
Some incompatibility of burncd and the DVD drives. I suspect 
either the software or the drives have improved so that with
more modern components it works.

Meanwhile I believe I avoided the problem using atapicam and 
cdrecord.

But I don't recall needing to reboot.

(And it could have all been a dream?)
