Sorry if I repost this message, but I found that this is a common problem and I can't find a solution on the net.
I have a NEC 3500 Dvd Writer. I have problems with the recording speed. I tried two different brands of dvd-r (one from princo that is certified for 4x recording, and one from philips that is certified for 8x), but cdrecord-ProDVD always writes the DVDs at 6x speed. Here is the output of the program; tell me if I can supply additional debugging data. newdeal:/mnt# cdrecord-dvd -dev=/dev/hdc -speed=4 -dao -data guida.iso Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01b31 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use scsidev: '/dev/hdc' devname: '/dev/hdc' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.
