I've had problems with this too with my A04 and dvdrecord. I was unable to get verbatim media to write at 1x. I was also unable to get some allegedly-2x-rated media from FWS to write at 1x. Using speed=1 in dvdrecord was ignored. I've since moved to datasafe riteks, and have no problems - they write at 1x regardless of the speed= parameter. I seem to remember cdrecord refusing to write certain media at slower speeds in the past, again silently ignoring the speed= parameter. My intuition, although I haven't looked at the code, says that this may be a problem deeper in cdrecord, on which dvdrecord is based. Reports from windows users indicate that windows software is able to write Verbatim DVD-Rs at 1x or 2x. Having looked at the cdrecord mailing list archives, it seems this issue has been brought up with regard to CDs a number of times, and largely ignored. After all, why would anyone want to write a CD at less than the maximum possible speed! I have little hope of this issue getting fixed in a hurry. - Matthew _______________________________________________ Dvdrtools-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dvdrtools-users
