What is “BURN-Proof”? JustLink?
BURN-Proof (or BurnProof) is an unfortunate abbreviation of “Buffer-Under-Run Proof”. The technology allows you to avoid buffer underruns by suspending and restarting the write process when the recorder’s buffer is about to empty. (See section (4-1) if you’re not familiar with buffer underruns.) Ideally, the results of interrupted and uninterrupted writes would be identical. In practice, there may be a small glitch at the point where writing was suspended. Sanyo recommends 4X or higher speed CD-ROM drives and audio equipment made in 1995 or later for playback. For more information, see http://www.sannet.ne.jp/BURN-Proof/faq/. Ricoh has independently developed their own version of the technology, called “JustLink”. If you speak Japanese, see http://ext.ricoh.co.jp/cd-r/drive/justlink_06.html.
