Re: Re: NEC ND-3540A and 16x DVD burns?

2005-10-24 Thread will
i too had been having to use growisofs for higher speeds, and am glad schilly is 
writing code to get around quirks in the nec drive. (probably) I didn't think force 
would work for that sort of thing.
anyway, i had downloaded the source for the latest dvdrecord, and after looking at 
the source for about a half hour, decided that the variable curspeed in cdrecord.c 
seemed to be the appropriate variable to modify, if i wanted to hard code the speed 
into the dvdrecord source, and maybe have several versions of dvdrecord for different 
speeds.  I changed instances of curspeed to 12 in what i thought to be the 
appropriate part of the code, and it worked. Schily is probably going to beat me over 
the head with a club if i show up in germany to drink beer.  I wish i had tried the 
-force first, but i was playing with forcespeed in options instead.

 You hope this helps? It's like asking make sure the power cord is
 plugged in. Or remember to breathe out after breathing in?

 Anyway, I found the apparent answer in the archives. As I recall, it
 seems that my Nec drive like someone else's has broken firmware, so
 cdrecord-ProDVD doesn't see any speeds higher than 6x as possible.

 In the meantime I can burn at 16x with growisofs. Or faster than 6x
 anyway.

try cdrecord -force.

The problem now has been identified and there will be a workaround soon.
