I keep seeing people posting in their logs TAO burn mode. What is TAO burn mode? I was going to ask in their forums but I found out that is locked down now so couldn't even ask a general question unless I was to download the trial and install it, which I wasn't willing to do at this time unless it has something I might consider trying before purchasing.

I haven't used Alcohol in quite a while but I do watch the forums to see if it does anything differently or better than Nero especially since Nero is bundled with CD and DVD Writers it's hard not to use that choice when it's free and Alcohol costs a little over $50 bucks. So it would really need something spectacular that is alot better than Nero which is free to put out that kind of money. Especially since 1:1 copies no longer are no longer applicable and all require some type of emulation it's hard to justify money for programs in the past like Blindwrite, CloneCD, or Alcohol.

How is that different than DAO (Disc At Once)? And which is better to use than? RAW DAO or TAO?
