When writing starts, the software says, Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 8 ..., but during writing, the reported speed ranges between 1.0x and 2.1x - maybe this is because the drive buffer is too small and frequently drops below 10% full?

Samson Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: H.. Just to confirm, are you also using cdrecord-prodvd 2.01b31 with LG GSA4167? Or are you using one of the 'unofficial' dvd patches? Unofficial because it works flawlessly with the GSA-408x and GSA-416x series. The drive is on secondary master. The hard drive with the .iso is on secondary slave. All devices are running udma2. Bam! That's your problem. You will run into a noticable performance issue when you are doing DMA from one device to another on the same channel. Especially from the all-important latency aspect. And that's assuming the ATA v. ATAPI devices and their different vendor/model quirks aren't already in-fighting and reseting the ATA bus (which is detrimental to performance). Trust me on this, put each device on their own channel, and you will avoid performance issues. You should _only_ use the master/slave relationship for PIO (which is slow and CPU intensive), and _never_ for DMA -- or in the worst case, never for transfers occurring from both devices on the same channel simultaneously. ATA is not SCSI. It does _not_ do device-to-device transfers. One ATA device must take control of the bus, setup the registers for transfer, transfer to memory and give up the bus -- while the other device then does the same. The acquisition of the bus is the main issue -- especially when data is trying to be fed to the recorder in real-time, while the HD is trying to transfer into memory. # hdparm -i /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: Model=HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B, FwRev=DL10, ...

Okay, I moved the .iso file onto my other hard drive on hda (udma5).
Tried burning it and same problem :(
1. The software reports Drive buf size : 1114112 = 1088 KB,
but the drive actually has 2MB buffer
Actually, mine says 1,8xx-something.
About the drive buffer size problem, if I enter the command without a
disc in the drive, it says Drive buf size : 1966080 = 1920 KB The
disc is 8x DVD+R ...
