Question:
When I make a Mixed-Mode CD, I encounter buff-under-run, what can I do?


Answer:
Mixed-Mode consists of a Data Session, followed by an Audio Session. At the transition point from Data to Audio, if the audio source (e.g. CD-ROM drive) doesn't pick up fast enough, buffer-under-run on the target CD recorder will occur. We found that many CD drives could not make the transition from Sleep Mode to Data Transfer Mode fast enough.

Before hardware manufacturers can solve this performance problem, a temporary solution is to use hard disk instead of CD drive as the audio source: First extracting CD tracks into WAV files and put them on your hard disk; and then prepare your Audio Layout using these WAV files.
