Buffer underrun: a CD recorder will report this error when
the buffer is empty while burning a CD.
In most cases this is caused by the source drive which is not
fast enough to feed the recorder with data.
A solution is to buy another drive or to burn the CD via an
image file.
This error can also occur when the interface is unable to
transfer the data fast enough.
This can happen when you are using the USB interface.
