#2 I've looked arround now and that ain't too good looking !

If there is a chance at all with any of the 3 programs I've mentioned it must be Alcohol 120% - there are 2 instances were the SafeDisc 2/3 profile is NOT recommended. ....2.9x is recommended but that's not an option in the 1.9.2 (1705) v. I have, only "Safedisc" or "SafeDisc 2/3" - which leaves the first as the only choice !

I've downloaded Discjuggler v. 4.10.1140 DEMO from Padus.com
Can I use this demo to give it a try ? At start up there is message saying that the lowest burning speed will be used and the DVD size will be limited to 650 Mb !! Not a word about CD !!

I saw this setting by phillamber as you recommended:

"First make sure that in Tools-> Options-> Verify that "Check CD data blocks with software generated EDC/ECC when reading in RAW mode" is unchecked.
Once you've done that, correct settings are:
READ
Check Scan gaps and indices, Ignore read errors and Raw read.
Read Speed - Any.
Leave other settings unchecked.
WRITE
Check Raw write.
Write Speed - Any
Leave other settings unchecked.
"
Except that you recommend write speed to 4x !!

Which of the two app. above will have the best chance using good quality CD-R 700 Mb ?
(my CD-RW are old and they only do 650 MB and 2x-4x)

Thanks
