Burning a cd keeps failing - help?

bonjour! because im very narrowminded and think that
everyone who listens to autechre knows stuff about
computers, heres another good question for y'all

when i burn a cd, 3 out of 10 fail.. today it happened twice
in a row. I am however unable to handle the tension caused
by the buffer underrun - see attached graphism, so you nice
folks might have a clue how to fix the problem, or suggest
some more reliable burning software

im running windows xp on a 2.4Ghz P4
512 ram
12x speed cd writer
+ Internal handjob apparatus

thanks

Try Nero Burning Rom

If your drive hasn't got buffer underrun protection that'll
be it. If that is the case just leave the computer alone
while you are burning. Go learn the electric bogaloo or
something.

I have a 32xspeed cd writer. I had the same problem with
failing cd's recently. Most disks failed and it wouldnt
burn over 8 speed.

After running a lens cleaner through the drive about
20times, it worked fine again. Maybe you could try that.

What are you trying to burn? Mp3's-->Wave?
.wav?
copying a cd?


 

offline JAroen from the pineal gland on 2004-04-21 03:24 [#01153595]

I would convert mp3 to .wav files before you start burning.
It's my guess that it isn't converting them fast enough, so
your buffer runs out.
