Ironic that you say that, since I don't ever have much luck burning
disks (CD or DVD) under Linux; in fact, worse luck than using XPs native
burner support. For me it's harder to predict and control bus and
system load under Linux than Windows (especially since the PCI bus on
the Linux box is nearly at capacity). I hardly ever have a problem with
Nero tho, hence why I still pay for the license.
Since it's an image, Nero shouldn't be doing anything do it, but I'll
try transferring over the DVD burner when I get a chance to shut the
server down to see if that helps. I suspect this will only be an
elimination step, however.
I'll let you know my results.
