I'm a Plextor newbie here, so please go easy on me guys if my questions seem ridiculous.

First off, what's the 'average' level of C1 errors a disc should have? Is what I'm listing below something to worry about?

When using my Premium cd-rw drive and PlexTools Professional I get.....

.....about 2,900 to 3,800 C1 errors on average with a Mitsui cd-r. Around 4,000-9,000 C1 errors with a Taiyo Yuden cd-r.

When I used Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, there are about 6,000-9,000 C1's for Mitsui and 9,000-23,000 C1's TY.

As far as C2 errors go, I still have NOT gotten any with either burning program.

Does having 2 burning programs affect anything? I remember people saying you shouldn't have Nero & Roxio on your computer because of conflicts that might occur, so does this mean the same for Roxio & PlexTools Pro?

Thanks Guys.

Not sure about Plextools Pro & Roxio, but it definitely interferes with FantomCD, which I've been using forever as a Virtual CD. If I use Plextools, I have to reboot before I can access Fantom's virtual volumes.
