DVD/CD Burning Issues

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!

How did they know!?
You may or may not realize but advertisements are everywhere!  How did the advertisers know you liked cars or clothes–or anything else for that matter?  In short, whenever you go to a website a cookie is stored on your computer.  Advertisers are now looking at your cookies to create a profile based on what sites you go to, what you search for, etc.  As they build this profile about you, they start targeting ads based off what they know you like.  This, in theory, helps bring you advertisements of products/services you would more likely purchase.
