Please inform yourself before posting.....
Burn-Proof is switched off by default and other protections (invented later) are switched off by cdrecord to get compatibility..... if you only had read the man page......
Switching Burn-Proof on will reduce the quality of the CDs.
In addition: if you don't have the experience when Buffer Underruns occur, you should not post speculations that it is not a problem. I know that it _is_ and this should be enough for you. Unless you send me the results from a test done under worst conditions you need to believe in the experience of people who spend more time on CD/DVD recording issues than you.
Proving things to work for a 1/12th dozen only is not sufficient for granting quality.
