I have recently upgraded to Jaunty (fresh install), and this slow DVD recording
speeds problem also happens to me (for CDs it's fine). I have an LG GH22NP20
(that, afaik, can burn DVDs at 22x). When setting burning speed to 4x or 8x (it
does not make diference), the maximum speed I can reach is from 1,2x to 2x. I
checked the CD/DVD drives and HDs and everything is set to maximum UDMA, with
no errors or warning messages. At burning process, CPU usage goes to 100%.
One curiosity is that, if I create a data DVD project from files on the HD and
burn it on-the-fly, the problem ocurrs. If I burn from a pre-existent ISO file
, the burn speed is normal. Also, if, instead of burning the project to the DVD
recorder, I burn it to an ISO file, the process takes the same time of the slow
recording.
So, I wonder if the issue is related to the ISO image creation process, because
when writing to the DVD and this problem ocurrs, the software buffer (at K3Bs
burning status window) stays between 1% and 5%. It looks like the process that
reads the data from HD and outputs it in the ISO format cannot "feed" the
recorder's buffer at suficient speed.
Here, the outputs of the test commands in my machine:
