That's easy, speed=4 doesn't mean 4x, it means the 4th supported speed

Yes, I had found that out from other posts on the list. My
"cryptic" aside was just a commentary on how counter-intuitive
it is.
Also, the numbers just don't match up with the media I have. I
had to use trial and error. The media I burned has:
Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s
Write Speed #1: 6.0x1385=8310KB/s
Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s
Or in the speed descriptor section:
Speed Descriptor#0: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s
Speed Descriptor#1: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s
Speed Descriptor#2: 00/1466335 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s
In no case should speed=1 match to 4x, or speed=2 match to 6x, unless we
are counting in speed-order, not listing or number order. No speed setting
(or setting speed=3) would then give 8x? The manual page is not really
helpful on this issue at all.
The man page is not nearly as good as the software... I believe that the
speed selection is advisory unless you use an option like force-speed. I
was looking for some help in the code for "use-the-force-luke" options,
and didn't find any. However, I did find that the dvd_compat variable
gets set many places and doesn't seem to get used anywhere, which may
explain something I'm bother with.
