On the fly

I know everyone says not to burn on the fly but what is the difference. Does the back up play any worse than if it wasnt done on the fly, if so what are the faults.
Or is it just that the burn could fail on the fly?

when i first started i would do on the fly and the only time a game didnt work was when i would get a buffer under run it happened a lot then i found out i was better off making the image and when i did i never got a buffer under run. and now my burner also has under run protedtion

Yes but what i want to know is, is a sucessfull burn done on the fly the same as a burn done from an image on the hard drive

Yes its the same. One process reads the disc while its in the tray, which can cause problems because the disc is being read while it is being burned. The other method is safer simply because it is being read from the HD which is faster.

Yeah depending on your burner sometimes you need to save to the HDD before being able to burn at full speed.
