Back when, if the buffer underran the laser went off.  Since the CD 
wasn't finished you got a coaster.

Burn proof (or whatever trademark people use for it) allows the writer 
to start writing again--there's a small gap but it accounts for that 
somehow and finishes the CD.  I think you'll find that CDRs aren't made 
with large buffers anymore because it isn't as big a deal.
