A new addition to the Philips“intelligent drive”features, Seamless Link acts to manage and minimise
the effects of buffer under run (BUR), a common cause of wasted discs during the CD writing process.
INTRODUCTION
Today, burning discs with a CD writer has become a common method of storing and distributing data, text, video and audio files for PC users. With advances in writer speeds and performance, greater ease of use, improved writing application software with
users today require less time and hassle when burning their first disc.
Other advances in CD writing are related to write integrity, and ensuring optimal writing on nearly all media, as example, with Philips Thermo Balanced Writing (TBW) and Self Learning strategies.
However, even with exponential strides in ease of use, and a mainstream place in new PC systems for CD writers, users, especially those with older systems, still face an occasional buffer under run error message. A less frequent error for users of new PC systems, BUR is still an annoying problem.
While first addressing the problem via a software solution
“on board” the CD writer. For both users of new and older systems, Philips Seamless Link “on board” offers an excellent management solution for BUR without tying users to a specific application software provider.
