What is buffer underrun?
While burning a disc, it is critical that the source drive provide a continuous data-stream at the CD-RW drive’s recording rate. The CD-RW drive has an internal memory-buffer to compensate for small gaps, but if the stream is interrupted for too long, and the available buffer can not supply enough data to cover the interruption, the recording stops-reporting a buffer underrun, ending the session, and wasting a blank disc. CD writers utilizing buffer underrun protection technology such as Burn-Proof (by Sanyo) or JustLink (by Ricoh) virtually eliminate the problem of buffer underruns. The CD-RW drives used in our CD Duplicators utilize buffer underrun protection technology.
