LinuxQuestions.org - ATAPI CD-RW 52x + cdrecord error

I have Memorex CD-RW cds at up-to 4x multispeed. Burner is in topic, cdrecord version is 2.0 (default with slackware 9).

commad given:
cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -eject -data image.iso [return]

To shorten your read, I will point out what I believe the source of the problem is.. Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 52 in real TAO mode for single session.

I specified 4 and it goes at 52, which causes an overrun (or so I believe) anyone have any ideas why it doesn't work?
