I am doing a little experimentation - where does the Finder store the temp disk img it creates when you insert a blank CD and let the Finder "prepare" it? I remember in OS 9 you could easily find the tmp disk img in the System Folder, but I can not find it in OS X. I am wondering since the Finder always prepares disk for full-volume (e.g. 650mb) if maybe that is why the Finder disk burns are failing - I mean maybe the Finder senses the disk being full (even though youmay only be burning 10mb) and auto-closes the disk instead of leaving it open for further sessions.

Did you try to look inside /private/tmp folder? It's an invisible folder, but you can opt to make it visible by either using TinkerTool or type this command on the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
