38 ULEAD BURN.NOW USER GUIDE

Advanced settings

Direct burn is a quick way of burning discs since it allows data to be written directly

onto the disc. When this feature is disabled, a temporary disc image file will first be

created on the hard drive before the disc is burnt.

Direct burn must be selected when burning a disc with UDF 1.5 file system or above

since Burn.Now does not allow the creation of disc image files with these file systems.

You can also select this option if you have a fast computer and burner.

You can clear the Direct burn option when burning a disc with ISO 9660 or UDF/ISO

9660 file system, or if you have a slow computer and faster burner device (with a write

speed of higher than 8X) to prevent burning errors.

Note: It is recommended that multiple programs are not running

while directly burning to disc, to prevent burning errors and to

increase your computer's performance.

Selecting this option simulates the recording process before burning data to disc. This

helps in checking if the system speed or CD-ROM/DVD-ROM speed is fast enough to

send data to the burner at the specified write speed. However, this doubles the burning

time.

Note: If your burning device has buffer underrun protection and this

function is enabled, you can clear the Test before burning option to

save time when burning discs.

If the burning device has buffer underrun protection capability, this feature is enabled in

the Burning Options dialog box. Selecting this option ensures an uninterrupted flow of

data to minimize the risk of errors in the burning process.

This option verifies if each source file exists and is readable before starting the burning

process.
