Is Buffer Underrun Protection good?
If Buffer Underrun Protection kicks in, does it do anything to the data on
the CD? Or does the CD (or DVD for that matter) come out exactly as if the Protection never kicked in? For example if you're copying a protected game CD to make a backup of it (since I don't want to loose the CD to accidental scratches), and the Protection kicks in, will it affect the copy or does it make no difference?

There is a microscopic difference where the burns stops/starts however
no drive will detect these (they are dismissed as the minor imperfections all burns have). As for copy protections I have never yet seen any evidence that disks where burn proof has kicked in cause any problems at all. A friend uses a really crappy old K6-3 machine with 64Mb of RAM and burn-proof is kicking in almost every 10 seconds and he hasnt had any problems with copy protections.
