Sometimes a Buffer underrun occurs during Copy-On-the-fly because the CD-ROM drive turns off the motor while writing the Lead-In and getting the motor going again takes so long that a buffer underrun occurs.
There are several possibilities:
Either Nero tries to keep the drive running or you can use external programs.
So that Nero keeps the drive running or wakes it up in time before burning, the following should be carried out:
There is a registration entry to activate this function. Unfortunately CD-ROM drives all react differently so it is a bit of trial and error:
Please start RegEdit and edit the following entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning ROM\General\SpinDownSeek
Enter 2 as a value initially and start a burning process (or simulation). If this doesn't help, enter 1 as the value and test it again.
And if they both don't work try it again with 3.
For the following drives, the respective given value applies:
value |
drive |
1 |
LITEON 36X MAX |
2 |
MATSHITA CD-ROM CR-588, NEC CDR-1910a, Plextor PX40TS, Sony CDU701 |
There is a standardised command to increase the length of the spin-down time. However not all vendors have kept to this standard.
