Two things that annoy me about my Mac

1. About 2 in 5 attempts to burn a CD tend to fail.
2. The battery life is poor.

I am trying to burn a CD-R for a friend. I took some photographs at his daughter's wedding this afternoon. I wished to to burn three CD-Rs of the photographs. So far 1 CD has succeeded. Two have failed. I shall see if the next one fails. Why does this happen in a relatively new MacBook Pro 15" laptop?

Postscript. 3 CD-Rs succeeded. 3 CD-Rs failed. Is that a 50% success rate or a 50% failure rate? Is the glass half full or half empty? They were imation CDRs. The hardware is an ATA HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA burner.
