If possible i want the edges of the logo to be straight, not blurry, so it is easier to use on different coloured backgrounds, thanks.

Any chance that you have msn?

Burnproof stands for Buffer under run proof...

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can pause the laser, it just buffers a large amount of data so the chances of "buffer underrun" are greatly reduced. I don't think it's *garaunteed* to work though.

The logo isnt coming brilliantly..

Its a bit harder than i expected to put the shades on without a graphics tablet, and all my attempts so far look a bit crap, but I'll keep trying and tell you when I've got one I'm happy with.

With traditional CD Writers, the data source had to be supplying data to the writer at all times, if the writer was writing faster than the data was being supplied, the CD would fail.

Burnproof just stops this, by allowing the CD writing process to pause and await the data. It's useful because it means you can use your PC at the same time as burning a CD, without fear of failing, and also you can use it with naff slow hard drives.

That's how I understand it, could be totally wrong of course..

Im sure it has something to do with buffering of some sort.

Try this link for an explanation, I know it's based on Iomega but the priciples are the same.
