Need some RELIABLE DJ3 settings! Or should I give up and use DJ2?

[gamble007]

If anyone could please give me a clue as to what some reliable settings for my Iomega ZipCD 12/10/32, I'd be way appreciative. In the past I've successfully burned Quake 1 (w/DJ3), Tony Hawk 2 (w/DJ3 but it freezes up after awhile...so whether that's a success or not is arguable) and Snow Surfers (w/CDRWin). The settings I used with DJ3 on those were:

Mode 1
2368
CD-XA
Offset: 0
RAW write: checked
Post gap to 3rd Party Images: checked

Recently I've tried to burn Cannon Spike, Charge N' Blast, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The first two reset themselves (to the bouncing file screen) after the initial startup (Sega tm) screen and MVC2 started up just fine, let me navigate through all the menu's just fine, but when you go to start a game, it never loads the info and just freezes up.

Shouldn't there be just one set of settings that you can consistantly use or is it different for every game? Is it my drive? Do I need patches? Should I be using DJ2 or are other burning progs. better? Inquiring minds (and anxious gamers) want to know! Again any help would be greatly appreciated.
