CD Writers need a continuous stream of data while writing, if the data doesn't get fast enough at some point, you'll get an error and the writing will stop. You just burned a coaster. Now, the faster you write, the more data has to be fed to the writer and the higher the chance that at some point the writer runs out of data. Buffer underrun is a technology where the writer writes the data in blocks of a certain size. These blocks are measured so that even if the buffer gets empty, the writer knows where to start writing again when it has enough data in its buffer to continue. It's an almost 100% protection against the buffer getting empty during the write. So when you write a cd, just don't do anything at the same time on the same pc and you'll probably finish without an error.

Oh, and as far as I know the black point on the envelope indicates a thread where you made a post in.
