Do you not know the ultra cool unix move window shortcut? alt and drag
alt and middle click to resize

It turns out that the DVD I originally tried to burn didn't work because the media is fucking shit.
I noticed that I could fit my finger nail in between the two layers in the middle of the DVD and that that started to delaminate, I inserted a pen tip and the two layers came apart.
It's a branded DVD too, Maxell, anyone else had a similar problem?
Unfortunately I didn't investigate the rewritable CD I had problems with, I'll have a look and destroy it when I find it. It's probably just been used too much or is scratched or something.
Refalm:
It often happens when you store the CD's in an open casing.
Those extra expensive plastic covers for CD-R's are there to protect against humidity.
You should also never use CD-R's or DVD-R's to store important data, they're not built to last.
I find that Emtec makes the best rewritable disks, they last a bit longer.
Kintaro:
It looks like sunlight fucked them. A CD kept in the right environment will last longer than any of us.
Aloone_Jonez:
Well I don't know how they've been stored as I just fount them lying around at work, so yes maybe storage conditions were a factor.

Just tried that out now, it certainly works but it's still a fail because it's supposed to be user friendly and only an experienced user would know how to do that.
