I would imagine that what is happening here is that, because the +RW
disc has a slower write speed, the machine is able to keep supplying
data such that the write is continuous. With the +R disc, which has a
higher write speed, the data is not supplied quickly enough to ensure a
continuous write, and the drive's buffer underrun proceesing is being
invoked.
