reread this post,

we are not going to get anywhere unless you follow directions

ImgBurn is a great choice but OfficeMax blanks are not.

Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning. Especially get yourself some Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens. Update firmware, if required.

Happy days will follow.

Gee, they appear to be MCC. Hope they are not fake.

As you noted, you're burning too fast (MAX). 16X is over the top.
