I would like to know what a buffer is Please

Hi...i have a CD-Burner and when I try to burn a CD...it says something like "Buffer capacity is too short" or something like that. I'd like know what I can do to stop this.
Thanks

Hi
The Cd Burning software, reads the contents and keeps it in a buffer so that the CD can get the contents to write in a uniforn stream. CDs are written by a heating process and so needs to be provided with the data uniformly without a wait.

The buffer is filled ahead continuously by the cd buring software. Obviously, the RAM, the CDs cache, processor occupation etc are involved. All the more the reason..
1. Not to have any Screen saver which gets over the CD-software.
2. No background activity or pushing the CD burning to background of OS so that the process continues without hindrance.
3. The CD is using a correct write speed that it is capable of. In cases, if the CD quality is not good.. try to write with a lower speed than capability of CDR writer.
4. Virus free environment
and such activities which will not hinder the operation.

Hope this is helpful to you. ramani :-9
