Hi, I just replaced my 4X dvd burner with a 16X one, but can't burn my DVD any more. I was cautious enough to burn my first trial with lower speed, but growisofs wouldn't allowed me. It still burns at 8X, thus produced a coaster at the end:

Why the growisofs insists to use speed 8 even after I specified "speed 4"? Is there any way to burn my dvd at a lower speed? thanks PS. - The DVD media was perfectly fine with my previous (no longer available) burner. - The load was around 0.1 when burning and I used "nice -n -2". So it is not a system load issue. - I tried a second time, the load was still around 0.1 when burning and I still used "nice -n -2". but got another coaster: 4502913024/4506009600 (99.9%) @5.9x, remaining 0:00 builtin_dd: 2200208*2KB out @ average 5.4x1385KBps /dev/dvd: flushing cache /dev/dvd: closing track /dev/dvd: closing disc :-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=07h]: Resource temporarily unavailable - Here are the detail info about the DVD drive and media: $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd INQUIRY: [PIONEER ][DVD-RW DVR-110D][1.17] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Bh, DVD+R Media ID: RITEK/R03 Current Write Speed: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #1: 6.0x1385=8310KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 00/2295103 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/2295103 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/2295103 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: A1h, DVD+R book [revision 1] Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2295104*2KB Track Size: 2295104*2KB READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 thanks for your help -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
