Do not use CD-R. DVD-R would be great but why waste it. In my experience DVD-RW reads a little better then CD-RW but either should work fine. Speed, I don't know, some people say to burn slow but I record at max everytime with no problem. But I do suggest slower speeds till you get things working.

Just out of curiosity how did you make your dummy files and what where they named?
