Hi,

the strange speed value 4.1x seems to stem from a 1024/1000 confusion
in growisofs.
growisofs_mmc.cpp has:

  #define BD_1X   4390// 4495.5 * 1000 / 1024
  ...
_1x = BD_1X;
  ...
  page2A = pull_page2A (cmd);
  ...
hlen = 8 + (page2A[6]<<8|page2A[7]);

unsigned char * const p = page2A + hlen;
  ...
{   velocity = p[28]<<8|p[29];
  ...
fprintf (stderr,"%s: \"Current Write Speed\" is %.1fx%dKBps.\n",
ioctl_device,velocity/(double)_1x,_1x);

Page 0x2A is the obsolete "CD/DVD Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page"
last mentioned in MMC-3. One can ask a drive to fill it out and return it.
Its bytes 28 and 29 then contain the "Current Write Speed Selected".
To my knowledge, all drives return this value as kB/sec. So growisofs
should divide it by 4495, not by 4390.

Not K3B's fault. growisofs needs a maintainer.


Have a nice day :)

Yes, original GrowisofsHandler only considered about DVD, so I simply added
setMediaType for it to consider about Device::SPEED_FACTOR_BD too

Yes! in the K3b::GrowisofsWriter::prepareProcess()

Add MediaType for GrowisofsHandler

So it is able to calculate Current Write Speed with DVD or BD speed
factor depends on MediaType.

Hi,

i see confusions about DVD and BD speed units and about SI compliant
kB = 1000 bytes versus programmer's KiB = 1024 bytes.


"Writing speed: 5678 KB/s (4,1x)" obviously implies the speed factor
for DVD of 1385 kB/s, rather than the factor of 4495 kB/s of BD.
As BD speed 5678 kB/s would be about 1.3x.
It is not clear which of both numbers is the computed one.
Combined with the growisofs message
  /dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 4.1x4390KBps.
i'd expect that 5678 is wrong and should be about 18500.
(4390 KiB/s = 4495.36 kB/s.)

"Estimated writing speed: 4046 KB/s (0,9x)" on the other hand is
converted correctly.

One may ask the drive and inserted medium for its announced speed 
values by this shell command:

  dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0

A PHILIP/R04 BD-R medium in ASUS BW-16D1HT drive reports
  Write Speed #0:8.0x4495=35968KB/s
  Write Speed #1:6.0x4495=26976KB/s
  Write Speed #2:4.0x4495=17984KB/s

The value "4.1x" reported by K3B could be really "4.0x" if K3B
misunderstands 17984 kB/s as 17984 KiB/s (17984*1.024/4495 = 4.0969).

One should check K3B for such 1024 = 1000 mistakes. SCSI/MMC always
reports and expects SI compliant kB/s. I.e. "k" = 1000, not 1024.
This applies to the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo and to the reply of
SCSI command GET PERFORMANCE.


If i shall guess, then "Writing speed" is what K3B asks growisofs
to use by option "-speed=4", and "Estimated writing speed" would be
the real throughput measured between K3B and growisofs.

0.9x effective speed at 4x nominal speed is not very good. Only for
a short time (around 43 %) throughput accelerated to 1.6x for a short
time.
With Defect Management enabled 4x nominal should be about 1.5x to 2x
effective throughput.

As for CDEmu, it obviously does not feel restricted to the speed wish
18.4x DVD (= 6x BD) issued by K3 to growisofs, but rather burns as fast
as the computer can copy bytes.


Have a nice day :)

Hi Cristian,

Thanks for your test!

very good! I will check out why Writing speed (5678 KB/s) is different with
Estimated writing speed (3596 KB/s)

But what about the speed for CDEmu? could you provide another log when using
CDEmu for recording compare? thanks!
