Please guys anyone will burn cd's take care of the following notes:

• BEFORE you start burning, make sure that your source CD is running fine by checking its md5sum as said down on this page.
• Don't burn on a speed higher than 24X, u can make it less than that depending on your hardware.
• While you are burning, check the cd's that you burnt by checking its md5sum, If you are short in time, at least check 25% or 20% of it. If you found errors then you'll have to check them all and mark the bad ones. If the damaged CD's are more than 5% of what you burnt then stop immediately and get the rest of the blanks with you tomorrow.
