One of the main things that you might want to take into consideration is when
you go to burn the CD, don't do anything, not even moving the mouse. If your
drive is on a slower chain, all the buffers in the world couldn't help.
Also, if you use a computer system with a graphics card that will definately
help take the load off of the CPU instead of calculating ECS/AGA workbench
displays. 78 CD's and I've not had one buffer underrun yet.

One thing that may help is to defragment your harddrive to help speed
up disk access. The most reliable way to defragment is to make a
backup, format the partition, and then restore from the backup.

If that is not enough, then try increasing MasterISO's buffer
size (in the "Write Options" tab).
