I sent two mails in the past on this list about recording speed problems. I repost it here ..
Hi, I have a NEC 3500 Dvd Writer. I have problems with the recording speed. I tried two different brand 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:/pub/temp# cdrecord-dvd -dev=/dev/hdc -speed=4 -dao -data data.iso Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�rg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use cdrecord-ProDVD: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.10 cdrecord-ProDVD: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord-ProDVD: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: '/dev/hdc' devname: '/dev/hdc' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.
