Additionally the media you're burning to has a speed rating.

I think you'll find that the 48 is the speed at which it reads. The unit
writes at a slower speed - how slow depends on the unit itself (the bus
it's on like IDE, SCSI, and how well made it is and the computer. Usually
the write speed is lower like 1,2,8,12x.
What is important is a speed at which it produces good CDs and this may be
lower than what the vendor says is max spped.
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
