Joking, right? All current CD/DVD writers have burnfree/burnproof or equivalent buffer-underrun protection. Sorry, not joking at all. All CURRENT CD/DVD writers have burnfree protection, but (a) not all writers have it, and (b) its usage results in decreased capacity of the media. The problem especially occurs on ill designed hardware, where the DVD writer and the hard disk are attached to the same IDE channel. Yeah, we won't do this because it doesn't make sense; live with it. If you have a sucky CD/DVD writer, then change the cronjob yourself. |
