Things to be aware of when burning a disc and tips for use (1)

Notes and tips for burning discs:

DVD burning and CD burning, from disc to recorder itself are very different, if not pay attention will cause improper use, lighter The quality of the burned disc is not good, and even the burner will burn out. The author summarizes the following experience for your reference.

The first dust-proof, moisture-proof

Because the burner is clean and hygienic, this is very important for all optical storage devices. See "Masters also want to see how to make the recorder extend the life" and "The seven common problems of the recorder" and comprehensive analysis"

Second guarantee power supply, turn off the power saving function before burning

In the process of burning, it takes a lot of power to melt the dye, and burning is a relatively long process, so to ensure a smooth voltage and a large current. The power of a normal CDR burner is generally around 15W, but DVD burners are generally 25-35W, so DVDs need a more powerful power supply to support. Insufficient power supply will first affect the quality of the recording, which seriously affects the life of the recorder. The system often has abnormalities, blue screen, crash, and restart without cause.

It usually takes 6 minutes to 7 minutes to burn a DVD. If the power saving function is enabled during the burning process, it may cause the computer to suddenly lose its response and stop working, thus damaging the disk. sheet. To turn off the power saving function, you 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. "Always open", and 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.

The third heat

The burner has a large power, and because the burning time will be relatively long, there will inevitably be a large amount of heat, and the overheating of the recorder will affect the internal components. Because it is more important to choose a burner with better heat dissipation design, it is also recommended to buy a chassis with better heat dissipation.

The fourth choice of good quality discs

Generally speaking, the recording quality of the recorder needs to ensure the quality of the disc support. However, due to the price factor, most people will choose cheap discs when they purchase discs. If the recorder does not recognize the disc, or the engraved DVD disc cannot be played in a normal DVD player, it is caused by poor disc quality. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you do not buy a cheap and inferior plate for each penny. After all, a good disk will still be worth the money.

The fifth is not to be full or even engraved

The friends who burn often know that the actual capacity of the 4.7GB DVD disc is 4.38GB, so the highest is to burn this capacity of the article, try to Don't be full or super engraved. After all, the data on the outermost circle of the CD is quite unsafe, and it is easy to lose time, so it is good to only write the nominal data.

Sixth One-time burning

Do not use multiple segments, because only Windows XP can support multi-session DVD burning discs, but it is not recognized under other operating systems.

Seventh time to defragment

When burning a large number of small files, it is best to first defragment the hard disk where the file is stored, then copy the file to be burned, otherwise it will read The chances of taking errors will increase dramatically.

The eighth closed redundant task

Like the original CD-RRW, in order to ensure the smooth running of the burning process, it is best to put some extra programs (such as screen saver, download file) , video playback, audio playback, etc.) off, so as not to reduce system efficiency and increase the probability of failure.

The ninth frequently updated driver and burning program

You should always pay attention to whether the DVD burner manufacturer has released a new version of the driver, go to the burning software website to see if there are upgrades or patches can be downloaded. The update includes some minor modifications and improvements made by the manufacturer.

The tenth is to ensure that the data being burned continuously

Because the recorder is in the process of burning, it must have continuous data to be burned to the disc on the disc, if the recorder is in If the buffer is vacant and there is no data, the burning will fail. Therefore, be sure to carefully prepare before burning to ensure that the data being burned remains 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 delete the unnecessary files in the partition, in order to free up more hard disk space.

B. The following must also defragment the hard disk, 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 improve the burning speed, you can create a physical disk image before burning, and then burn the CD from the image. Almost all burning software supports the creation of this disk. If your system has multiple drives, you should ensure that the physical platter image is stored on a fast hard drive.

D. In order to avoid data interruption during the process of burning discs, you 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 scanners.

The eleventh is as much as possible to burn on a high-configuration machine

The author found in the practice of multiple-burning that the success rate of burning on a high-performance computer is significantly higher than that in performance. The success rate of burning on a low 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.
