Not sure if this will help or not. I have experienced some buffer 
underrun error on my 15in Albook using 10.3.3. The only way I got past 
them is by burning the disk at a slower rate than the media is rated 
for. For example, I tried burning some "generic" 16x audio CDs, but I 
could not burn at that rate without the errors. I dropped the burn 
speed down to 12x and have not had an error since. You might be 
experiencing something similar. Try burning the disk at a slower rate 
and see that clears it up.
