The manpage of cdrecord says:
The default is to turn BURN-Free off, regardless of the
defaults of the drive.
What is the rationale for doing that? Shouldn't burn-free be turned on
by default, or at least be let untouched by cdrecord to preserve the writer's
default behaviour?
It"s the SCSI standard..... and CDs with Burnfree are of worse quality.
One thing has not been made clear, does this lower quality happen only on underrun, or even if the feature is never needed? It's a desirable protection when burning from a variable speed source, such as network, is required. I some cases the disk space needed to copy before burn is not available.
Leaving it untouched would cause cdrecord to behave unpredictable.
Clearly. The behaviour needs to be determanant.
