What is Buffer Under-Run?
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record
until the data flow ends.
However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily, this may cause errors in
recording data.
What is Auto-Run?
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file
of the CD automatically.
What is Exaclink?
This function is to check the buffer to see if there are data while recording.
If the buffer is empty, it waits at the address and then restarts recording after
the buffer is full.
You can avoid Buffer Under-Run problems by applying the above-mentioned
principle.
