You can access additional burn settings in the extended area of the Final Burn Settings screen by clicking the 
button in the left margin of the window.
button in the left margin of the window.
The following setting options are available:
|
Button
Saves the active project
|
Opens the Save As dialog box.
You can save your compilation here.
|
|
Selection list
Writing speed
|
Defines the speed at which the disc is burned. Only the burn speeds that are supported by the selected recorder are displayed.
Not available when saving with Nero Image Recorder.
|
|
Selection list
Write method
|
Defines the Disc/Session-at-once or Track-at-once write method.
Using the disc-at-once method the entire disc can be burned without the write laser having to stop. With the track-at-once method the laser turns off after each track.
Available for CD compilations only. By default DVDs are burned using the disc-at-once method.
|
|
Check box
Determine maximum speed
|
Checks how fast the compiled data can be accessed and reduces the selected writing speed if necessary. This prevents a buffer underrun.
Recorders with a feature to prevent buffer underruns do not require a speed test. Current recorders mostly have such a feature.
Not available when saving with Nero Image Recorder.

|
Check box
Simulation
|
Performs all steps in the burn process without using the laser beam. We recommend running a simulation if you are decompressing data before burning, e.g. when burning an Audio CD from MP3 files. You can assume that if simulation is successful, the burn process will also be successful.
Not available when saving with Nero Image Recorder.

Check box
Write
|
Starts the actual physical burn process (e.g. after a simulation).
This box is checked by default.
|
|
Check box
Remove silence at end of *.cda tracks
|
Removes silence from the end of an audio file. This check box is selected by default. Audio data is stored in blocks even if you do not always finish at the end of a block limit. The last block is filled with silence when needed.
To avoid unwanted effects set the pause length to 0 when clearing this check box (to set the pause length see Track Properties Tab).
Available for Audio CDs only.
|
| Block |
A block refers to the smallest information unit on a CD-ROM or hard drive that is addressable in one access and that is indicated in bits or bytes. Several blocks are combined into a sector.
|
Check box
Automatically shut down the PC when done
|
Automatically shuts down the PC after the burn process has ended.
|
| Disc-At-Once |
Disc-At-Once refers to a method in which the laser in your recorder burns straight through in one session without turning off and on between each track. This method is best when recording Audio CDs you would like to play in your home or car stereo.

| Track-At-Once |
Track-At-Once refers to a write method in which each track is written to the disc individually. The writing process is interrupted briefly after each track, i.e. the laser starts again for each track. With this write method, it is only possible to continue writing to a DVD sometimes and at a later stage. There is a pause of at least 27ms between tracks, which can be disruptive for Audio CDs.
| Audio CD |
An Audio CD can contain up to 74 minutes of audio sequences and individual tracks in hi-fi quality. The storage capacity is 747 MB at a sample depth of 16 bit and a scan rate of 44.1 kHz.
| Buffer Underrun |
A buffer underrun is an interruption in the data flow in the internal memory (e.g. of the recorder). A buffer underrun results from an interruption in the data flow to the internal buffer. The buffer continues to deliver data until it is finally empty. When recording, data is fed continuously to the recorder’s buffer in order to keep a steady flow of data. If the steady flow of data is interrupted, the media becomes unusable. Most modern recorders have a protective mechanism against buffer underruns.
