supercat,

The audio on a CDG can be played back on any normal CD player. All CD burners should work fine in recording the audio portion of a CDG same as a regular music CD. The problem has to do with the graphics content of the CDG since this is a special format.

The accuracy of the pits is not the issue. If this was the problem, it wouldn't work correctly for regular music cd's or anything else would it? The issue is compatiblitly with the graphics part of the formatting.

Steve
