Stop Burn
Stop burning before the disc is finished.
Note: If you prematurely Stop, the CD will almost certainly be ruined.
Burning Progress
While a CD is burning, progress is indicated in the lower-left of the MiniBurn window. Progress messages are also
displayed in the Status Bar at the bottom of the window.
Read Buffer %- The computer’s disk read buffer usage. If Burn Proof is not available, you may have burn errors if
this drops to zero in mid-burn. In this case, try a slower Burn Rate.
Drive Buffer %- The CD Burner’s write buffer usage. If Burn Proof is not available, you may have burn errors if this
ever drops to zero. In this case, try a slower Burn Rate.
If a bona-fide buffer under-run actually occurs, MiniBurn also displays an error dialog at the end of the burn.
The two Buffer fields are most useful for diagnosing problems-- If the Read Buffer gets too low, it may mean that
the Hard Drive (or network connection) is not fast enough. If the Drive Buffer gets too low but the Read Buffer
remains adequate, it may mean that background processes are stealing too much CPU time from MiniBurn.
Track Written- Indicate the current track’s progress.
Total Written- Indicate the progress of the entire burn.
