Hardburning

Hardburning is a term used in the context of software and hardware to describe a situation where a device, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc, is burned or written to at a speed that is higher than the device's rated speed. This process can result in a higher-quality burn, as the laser in the drive can write data more quickly, but it also increases the risk of errors and defects on the disc. Hardburning is often used by experienced users who have compatible drives and software, and who are willing to take the risk of potential data corruption in exchange for faster burning times. However, it is important to note that hardburning is not recommended for all users, as it may not be compatible with all drives and can lead to discs that are difficult to read or play back. Additionally, hardburning may void warranties or damage drives if not done correctly. Users should carefully research and understand the risks and limitations of hardburning before attempting to use this technique.
