[gentoo-user] OT: DVD recording speed is awfully low
I'm recording a DVD which is capable of doing 16x, using k3b. Before starting, k3b explicitly said: Writing speed: 22713 KB/s (16,40x) but then, it began writing at speeds between 0.5x and 0.9x, so it took me about 2 hours to record. Before I begin writing the next 2 dvds I need to, I beg for any advise as to how correct this. Thanks in advance, Matías -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
