When I pull down the list, what appears is: Auto Ignore nothing more, which doesn't add much. Now that you have insisted it really does know how to adjust write speed, I tried clicking in the small, curious, _unidentified_ icon just the the right of the list box. Although I still don't know what that icon is meant to represent, when I again pull down the list, it comes complete with a whole range of available speeds. It would have been a nice touch to put an identifying word next to the funny icon. The miniscule graphic in the icon still tells me nothing. But now that I know about the magic icon, I will try writing the DVD at a more sedate speed. Thank you for your assurance that speed options are really there. Now an additional question arises: The highest speed in the list is 16. Does K3b interrogated the drive to ascertain that the drive is capable of writing to that speed? Or is 16 the highest speed of which K3b is capable without regard for the drive's capability? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel REAL similes/metaphors by high school students; #23: It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
