What is Burn-Proof?

[NewCompGeek]

i see that when someone is selling or buying a cdrw what does that mean?

It is a pretty important feature. It allows a CD-RW drive to resume recording once it's buffer runs out and it is forced to stop. Small gaps will be left on the CD. Too small to effect performance though. Some technologies do make smaller gaps than others.

buffer under run technology or something like that. it's supposed to lessen buffer underruns.

Burn-Proof is a marketing gimick used by companies to sell burners. 😀

Seriously though, burn-proof ISN'T fool-proof. It still can fail. 🙁

this site should help! 🙂

BURN-Proof = Buffer Under Run Protection

Before this technology, if the buffer in a burner became empty, the burner would stop writing, bringing the session to a screetching halt. With this technology, if the buffer empties, the burner's laser stops, then picks up again at the exact same point.

ok let me clear this up. burn proof and buffer under run protection are 2 compleatly different things. As some burner have both. with buffer underrun the burn speed slows to the rate the data gets to it thus lessening the chance of buffer underruns. Burn proof in theory stops burnong is the buffer empties and starts again when its full. a burner with both of these should save you cd's in anything short of a BOSD

Burn-Proof is simply a propretary name given to one company's implementation of buffer under-run technology. ( Sanyo I think )

You'll see a cpl of different cd-rw manufacturers use a different name like " Just-link " but they all basically do the same thing.
