No. modern burners have buffer underrun protection which stops the burn if the buffer can't keep up, but since the data is read from a disk, you should still limit any disk activity during the burn. ...

The different technologies are proprietary, but all accomplish the same task. A buffer underrun error is when the CD-Burner's buffer runs out of data before the burn is complete. Back in the day,...

Most coasters were caused by buffer underrun errors, where the buffer runs out of data and the burner can't continue where the last bit of data left off. Since around 2002 or earlier, most DVD burner...

Buffer underrun protection doesn't stop the burn. Rather, it enables the burner to continue a burn from where it left off earlier.
