I am getting set to finally burn some cd's. I have a 48 speed CD-R drive. I have only a vague idea what that means.
Here is a section of the man cdrecord regarding speed of writing: ======man cdrecord on speed======== speed = # Set the speed factor of the writing process to #. # is an integer, representing a multiple of the audio speed. This is about 150 KB/s for CD-ROM and about 172 KB/s for CD-Audio. If no speed option is present, cdrecord will try to get the speed value from the CDR_SPEED environment. If your drive has problems with speed=2 or speed=4, you should try speed=0. =====end man cdrecord on speed======= I would appreciate and English translation and some suggestions for setting the speed parameter. If I understand this this means I can set the speed of writing to 48. When I crank up the speed, either to 40 or 50, cdrecord says it is writing at speed = 32. Does the type of disk (mfg or type) influence the top writing speed? I have an 800megahertz Athlon processor. Any insight appreciated, Joel _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
