DVD/CD Burning Issues

By Philip Kohn on June 15th, 2011

Have you ever had issues burning music or data to a CD?  How about burning that movie to a DVD all to find out the burn failed?  Here are some tips for you:

  • Turn off your screensaver – if your screensaver starts while you’re burning a disc, it will interrupt the data flow to the laser.
  • Defrag your hard drive before a burn - it will make it easier for your PC to locate the files.
  • Slower burning speeds - they tend to make the best results.
  • Handle your discs by its edges and keep it away from dust.
  • Keep your discs out of the sunlight – this could ruin them!
