What do these imgburn options mean?(perform opc before write, enable burn-proof etc.)

[victor100]

Im curious to simply know what these options mean/do:

1. what does the "perform opc before write" and "enable burn-proof" options do?

2. what does the buffer size options do, when changing it to 512MiB?

1. The burner checks what media is present and uses the optimal power to ensure you get a good burn. Turn burn proof off when burning backups.

2. The bigger the buffer, the greater the overhead if your HDD gets tied up doing something else. Bigger is generally better.

@red impact: thank you...... but for question 1 are you answering for the "perform opc before write" or "enable burn-proof" options or both?

ok never mind i see. btw....... can you explain what enable burn-proof actually means, and thanks again. Ill leave it disabled

Sorry I tried answering both...

BURN proof is buffer under run protection, basically if an error occurs the drive stops, and tries to correct it. It caused me problems in Imgburn with my iHAS so I turned it off. Pretty sure it's a recommended setting to have it off.

Optimum Power Calibration (OPC) is a function that checks the proper laser power for writing a particular session in the media in use. More sophisticated is Active OPC, which calculates the optimum laser power and adjusts it in real-time.


Burn proof: (Buffer UnderRuN)

• Buffer underrun protection: When a buffer underrun occurs, the drive suspends writing. The drive memorizes the end writing point and timing, and immediately resumes writing from that exact point when sufficient data is filled in the buffer memory.

• Protection from write errors caused by shock and vibration: PowerBurn's Shock Proof technology pauses writing when the device is moved, and resumes after the drive becomes stable. This allows it to work in a mobile environment.

• Optimization of write conditions: The drive detects characteristics of each individual medium and optimizes all key writing conditions such as writing speed, laser power and write strategy.

Hope that helps

Yes this helped a lot, if i could thank your comment i would but doesnt give me the option. Thanks a lot. Very appreciative to you both. :smile:

edit: never mind it does, not sure why it wasnt showing up before
