Seamless Link Buffer Under Run (BUR) protection. Seamless Link, the Philips solution, is a BUR management solution that is "on board " the drive and prevents a wasted disc when a buffer under run occurs during TAO or DAO writing. Detecting the clues of an imminent BUR ahead of time, Seamless Link pauses the writing in a controlled way and restarts the writing when the danger of the BUR is gone. The primary benefits to users are:

• The Philips "intelligent drive" pro actively manages the consequences of a BUR during CD writing, which eliminates the risk of a wasted disc.

• The solution allows users greater ability to launch and run other applications, while burning a CD.

Thermo-Balanced Writing (TBW).

The technology, called Thermo-Balanced Writing (TBW) enhances the integrity of data written to any recordable and rewritable media,minimizing the chances of data retrieval problems or burning ‘bad’ discs.
