nero help

What does it mean when the buffer is underrun? After burning the disk with that error, the disk doesn't work at all. Thanks.

it ran out of the data it was needing for the burn stream once thats interrupted... the burning stops.... most of the time the disc is ruined. what version of nero and what burner do you have?
let alone what were you trying to burn cd to cd? data from the hdd?

A buffer underrun occurs when the PC cannot deliver data fast enough to the drive’s buffer. If the drive’s buffer empties because of the lack of data, the laser will turn off. The resulting gap on the media usually renders a CD-R disc unusable. A CD-RW disc can be erased and re-recorded in this case.

Hmm...doesn't your burner have buffer underrun protection? I thought that was standard these days...old burner, perhaps?


Read here about your problem.

if you have nero you can manually increase the amount of ram used in the "buffer"...I cant remember the exact setting but look for "options" or "preferences" etc and youll see "buffer".

Also, you can use a slower burning speed.

But yeah, basically it means it was trying to write faster than it could read...almost like you are trying to fill a pen up but the dude is writing so fast you cant fill it quick enough...and he ends up runnng out.
