LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 It means the drive can 'pause' during the burn if there's not enough data getting to it. Normally, if it runs out of data to burn, you'd end up with a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killjoy Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) lol, I remember that one of my first cd-writers did not support burn-proof technology and I ended up with many buffer underrun errors. Indeed you could throw away the disc if the buffer was empty . Nowaydays every writer has some sort of burnproof technology. Some say that Seamless Link technology works even better (Philips/BenQ drives), because it is part of the firmware and it is impossible to turn it off accidentely. Don't know if that is only a fairytale though... Edited March 27, 2006 by killjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Always leave it on. As killjoy says, it's often the case now that even with that setting disabled, drives still operate as if it were enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
