I have a question for anyone who can tell me. If you are ripping or burning a dvd do you have to stay off the computer while it is going through those processes or can you do other things on the computer.
Some people think that you can't or else you will get really bad burns, but they are kinda wrong. The worse that'll happen is it's gonna take a real long time. B/c ripping alone already takes up 100% of the cpu so you can see how multi-tasking might slow it down. You may not however multitask while doing the actual burning, it's suppose to throw the buffers off or something. Maybe somone can explain that a little more clearly for you a little later. But it's not neccesary that you know why, jsut know tath you shouldn't multitask during the burn.
if your pc stats are really low you can interrupt the flow of data from pc to dvd and the end result is a coaster. But on the higher resourced pc's which support hyper threading , dual bios, and more ram .You can get away with encoding and or burning while listening to music and or surfing the net like me.But its still not recommended. My pc supports 4gig of ram but i only currently have 1024.
