I have the same software and have excellent results. Most often you will find
that the hardware and bufferin are the major problems. I am using a TEAC on one
computer and a Plexstor on another - no problems. I use a DVD/CD player for the
source in each case. What can cause problems is the inability of the source
drive to extract audio. Audio extraction of both devices need to be at least at
the factor you wish to copy at. For example in my case the Player drive extracts
at 16x and the burner can record at 13x (really 12x). With these tested (the
Adaptec Software provides this system test) numbers I have no problem burning
audio at 12x. Images are actually easier to deal with.
