I worked at Staples, and I had a guycome in once looking for a DVD burner with a really big buffer size. The bigest one we had was 2.5 MB, and he said that was way to small and taking a step down. He told me his buffer was 20 MB!!! I know they dont sell (yet) DVD Burners with that size buffer, and he told me he did it himself, anway. He said his buddy had a program that would do it. I wanted to know if he was right, and, if so, how to do it. Or was he just shooting smoke up my maximus?
Increased buffer size?

I have the feeling he's talking about the software buffer itself. For example, clone cd. the drives have a small buffer size themselves, but what he is talking about is buffer used by the software. kind of think of it like this. hardware buffer would alike to computer memory. software buffer would alike to virtual memory (HDD). so, in a way he's right, but he's right in such a wrong way

The cd-burner has its own RAM so to speak, its buffer. What buring programs do is they allocate a section of your computer ram and use it for a temp buffer. And in most cases you can tell the program how much to allocate in the system memory for that burning session.
