About buffer bar

Recommended Posts

Happens to me a lot when burning lots of small files. Never does too much though...I even have it sit sometimes waiting for buffers to recover and HDD to get caught up and it still verifies and looks fine. Years ago this made many coasters, but Buffer Underun Protection as most drives have now ended that.

 

I bumped my buffer up to 40MB in the options and have it less often, but it still happens. Things to help with this is making sure the drive is defragged and ditch all the onboard stuff like sound, ethernet, etc as they use CPU cycles. Get a good sound card, ethernet card, and a modem if you dialup that isn't onboard or a "software" modem. Then downloading and such won't effect you. Having what you are working with on a different drive and not just a different partition than what you are burning helps too.
