Hi Andy, oh, I'm so stupid. I assumed that hardware / software does automaticly set the speed to a reasonable value. After trying with speed=2 instead of =4 the DVD-R was burned but still inaccessable. And now after playing around a long time I figured out that the media is designed for 1x ;-)
Nevertheless, I tried the version 5.13 as you recommended but I can't switch to speed=1 (error message, that growisofs can not switch to this speed). When I use 5.14 and speed=1 it burns with 2x. What can I do? thx + cu rasca On Thu, 11 Dec 2003 20:12:27 +0100 Andy Polyakov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This was fine.
