CD burning notes and burning tips

1. Do not run other programs during burning

If we take a closer look, we will find that running the optical drive normally will slow down the computer. The system resources used to burn the optical disc to burn the optical disc will be even larger. If we run other programs at this time, the data transmission may not be smooth. If it is serious, the system may be busy, slow response or crash. Therefore, during the burning process, we try not to execute another program, such as turning off the screen saver, timed alarm program, automatic dialing, automatic access program, and other programs that may be triggered to run.

2. Try to use slow speed when starting to burn.

Although popular recorders on the market support more than 4 times speed to write discs, too fast speed may cause reading and writing data. Unstable, it is easy to cause the data to be burned to be interrupted. If it is serious, the disc may be damaged. In addition, higher disk speeds can cause large noise during data transmission, which can affect the final disc burning performance and performance. Therefore, when we start to try to burn, we must first use a slower speed to burn, to see if there is noise or other unstable factors in the burning process, we can take timely measures in case of unexpected situations. Remedy without destroying the disc. When setting the burning speed, the general burning software will provide several options such as 1x speed, 2x speed and 4x speed. When starting to burn, we should choose 1x speed to burn.

3. To ensure that the recorded data is continuous

Since the recorder is in the process of burning, it must have continuous data to be burned to the disc, if the recorder is in If the buffer is vacant and there is no data, the burning will fail. Therefore, we must carefully prepare before burning to ensure that the recorded data is kept intact. To ensure the continuity of the data, generally the following measures can be taken:

A. First, through the file operation command, some files that need to be burned are stored in the same partition, and the partition is not The required files are deleted so that more hard disk space can be freed.

B. We must also defragment the hard disk below, so that the files are no longer scattered on the hard disk, the files can be quickly retrieved, so the recording performance can be improved.

C. In order to speed up the recording, we can record a physical disk image before burning, and then record the CD from the image. Almost all burning software supports the creation of this disk. If our system has multiple drives, make sure that the physical platter image is stored on a fast hard drive.

D. In order to avoid data interruption during the process of burning the disc, we also need to run the hard disk repair program, you can use the Scandisk disk scanner built in Windows system, you can also use other professional scanning. program.

4. Turn off the power saving function before burning.

It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to burn a CD. If we enable the power saving function during the burning process, It may cause the computer to suddenly lose its response and stop working, thus damaging the disc. To turn off the power saving function, we can follow the steps below: first open the control panel window with the mouse, find the power management icon in it, then double-click the icon with the mouse to open the power management window, and set the power usage scheme in this window. It is "always on", and is set to "never" mode in both the "close monitor" and "close hard drive" options. Then restart the computer and enter the CMOS setup interface. In this interface, set “Power Saving” in “Power Management” to “NONE”, and finally save the CMOS settings and exit to restart the computer.

5. Burn as much as possible on a highly configured machine

In the practice of multiple burning, I found that the success rate of burning on a high-performance computer is significantly higher than that in low performance. The success rate of burning on a computer, if the configuration of the computer is too low, a large amount of data during the burning process will make the machine unable to load. In general, the CPU of the computer should be above 200MHz, and the memory should be above 64MB.
6. The capacity of the hard disk should be large, the speed should be stable

Now the CD burner reads the data from the hard disk into the cache of the recorder first, and then writes it from the cache. In the platter. Therefore, whether the hard disk can stably transmit data has a great impact on the success of CD burning. Therefore, it is important to choose a hard disk with a stable transmission speed. In addition, the large capacity of the hard disk can provide a large space for the hard disk buffer, thus ensuring the continuity of the data stream.

7. It is best to test before burning.

Although many recorders support direct writing, for the sake of safety, I recommend that you use the test function for a test. Because in the process of testing, unexpected situations may occur. Once a problem occurs, we can take timely adjustment measures and reduce the speed of burning until the faults are completely eliminated. Almost all of the burning software currently has the option of "doing a simulation test before burning."

8.Before preparing for burning

Because the burning work is a more demanding job. Therefore, before we burn, we must carefully prepare and eliminate all the factors that may affect the instability of the recording, as follows:

A. First, you should use anti-virus software to disinfect your computer, otherwise maybe CIH Some viruses, such as Trojans, have been hidden in the data and the anti-virus program has been turned off.

B. Turn off the automatic insertion notification function of the optical drive. When setting, use the mouse to open "Control Panel → System → Device Manager → CDROM → Properties → Settings", and then mask the "Auto Insert Notification" function in the pop-up window.

C. In order to prevent the screen saver from running suddenly and affecting the stability of the burning work, we can open the control panel window, and set the screen saver to "None" in this window.

D. To prevent the scheduled task from running other programs while burning, right-click on the scheduled task on the taskbar and select “Stop execution of the scheduled task program”.

E. To prevent the online neighbor from "accessing" and causing the recording to fail, terminate your network sharing.

9. Try to give the written information the English file name

Due to the wide variety of burning software on the market, the functions and usage requirements of each software are not exactly the same, for example like EASY -CD PRO 95 burning software does not support Chinese file names, so once you encounter Chinese file names, burning will be wrong, which may destroy all the previously burned content. Of course, there are also burning software that supports Chinese file names, but for the sake of stability, it is best to change the information to be burned into an English name. Also remind everyone that the English file name can't be too long.
10. It is best not to burn for a long time

The recorder is relatively delicate. Since the recorder is in the process of working, the laser head inside the recorder is running at high speed, and when the disc is burned, the laser head must reach a certain power to melt the material on the disc for recording. If you work for a long time, the heat of the laser head will increase. The temperature on the corresponding CD-ROM drive will become very high, which may cause the recording to go wrong or even damage the disc. Therefore, we should not let the recorder grow. Time to work.

11.Use your own familiar burning software

Because the burning software on the market is very diverse, and their burning principle is not exactly the same, some poor software improperly use the cache, The disc may be burnt out often. In addition, if we use unfamiliar burning software, then we can not fully understand what is special about the burning software, this special thing may become an obstacle to our success. To this end, I suggest that you choose a powerful burning software that you are familiar with to avoid sudden failures.

12. You can use CD-RW to test first.

Since CD-RW can be repeatedly erased, CD-RW can also be used as CD-R, so we You can write the data to the CD-RW for testing first, and then write it to the CD-R after successful. This method is most suitable for making some special discs, such as making a self-starting disc, copying an encrypted track disc, and so on.

13. To use good quality empty discs

There are many kinds of empty films on the market, which makes people dazzled. Good films must be recorded stably and correctly, read smoothly, and have good preservation. . It's not that a film that can be successfully burned is a good film. Some of them are successful, but they can't be read, or they can't be read after a while. In addition, some inferior platters may even damage the recorder, which is even more worthwhile. .

14. Keep the recorder in a well-ventilated place

Since the recorder will generate considerable heat during the work, we have to put the recorder in a well-ventilated place. It is guaranteed to have good heat dissipation to ensure the success rate of the disc.

15.Properly protect the recorded discs

In order to ensure that the recorded discs can be used for a long time, we should take the following measures to protect the recorded discs:

A. Do not place the disc in a place exposed to strong light.

B. Do not label on the disc. When the disc is rotated at high speed in the disc player, the center of gravity will be unstable, which will affect the reading of the disc player to a certain extent.

C. To prevent scratches, both sides of the recording film are afraid of scratching. If the data surface of the upper layer is scraped, the dye layer for data storage is damaged, and the data is completely finished.

D. It should be waterproof and moisture-proof. It should be placed in a damp and dark environment for a long time. The burning surface will produce a layer of mold. If you are lucky, wipe it off if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, the data may be destroyed. It is.
