How can I get advertised burn speed?
 
Hello Group,
I hate to crosspost, so if this isn't the proper group, please let me know.

I am using cdbakeoven 1.8.9 on KDE 3.1.4 on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13.
I have an AOPEN CD-RW CRW5224, which is 52x Record 24x Rewrite 52x Read.
This burner worked beautifully in Windows.
I have read Andy McFadden's CD-Recordable FAQ, but can't find an answer to
this.

I can't burn faster than 4x

Can anoyne help me solve this issue?
A debug dump from the last burn session I ran is included at the bottom of
this msg.
This session was burning an iso file to a CD-RW disk.
The disk is an Imation 650MB, 74 Min.
If I can tell you anything else, please let me know.

TIA,
Charles

A common rating for standard CD-RW discs is 4x (maximum). I have a 5 =
pack of them sold a under the TDK label.

If the media is only rated at 4x, that's all you're going to get out of =
it.

There are free utilities available that will read the media info for =
you. Here's one of them:

That may very well be the problem. I'm out of CD-R's right now. I'll
borrow one and try again.
Thanks for the reply!

Is the disc HighSpeed or UltraSpeed?

I don't know your software, but somewhere it should report to you what
the ATIP says about the disc's properties. If the logo on the package
does not say HighSpeed or UltraSpeed, the disc won't write faster than
4x. If the ATIP says max speed is 4x, that's the maximum.

Mike,
Please notice in the dumpfile I included with my original post that the ATIP

It was the CD-RW max speed that was holding me back.

I bought some Fuji 48x CD-R's, and just recorded 2 at about 24x each.
I'll do some more research and see if I can do anything to bump it up to
52x.

I suppose it could be the fact that the .iso image I used for burning was on
a HD on the same controller as the burner, it could also be that this
burner will operate at a lower speed unless you press one of the buttons
until the light blinks twice, and then it speeds up to max. I forgot to do
that.

Sparker9 November 20th 03 08:31 PM

If the Fuji's are rated at 48x....that's the maximum you can ever hope =
to get out of them (at best).

Use the tool that I referenced previously to analyze the media's specs. =
Sometimes the mfg's rating may be overstated.

I've read that's it's a good rule of thumb to burn at one-half the =
burner's maximum (assuming the media allows this rate). I think the =
higher rates only really count if one's into a production run (IMHO).

I saw but could not interpret what I read. That is, "not unrestricted"
means the speed is restricted to something - but what? If restricted to
4x (1T), then it is neither HighSpeed nor UltraSpeed and cannot be
written faster than 4x. But what does 2T mean?

what the ATIP says about the disc's properties. If the logo on the
package does not say HighSpeed or UltraSpeed, the disc won't write
faster than 4x. If the ATIP says max speed is 4x, that's the
maximum.



Mike, Please notice in the dumpfile I included with my original post
that the ATIP info from the disk is blank. Or...the data below ATIP
info from disk indicates 4x max. I'll solve this as soon as I can go
get a few High-speed CD-R's.

ATIP info from disk: Indicated writing power: 5 Reference speed: 2 Is
not unrestricted Is erasable ATIP start of lead in: -11635
(97:26/65) ATIP start of lead out: 337350 (75:00/00) 1T speed low: 0
(reserved val 0) 1T speed high: 4 2T speed low: 8 2T speed high:
0 (reserved val 10)


I saw but could not interpret what I read. That is, "not unrestricted"
means the speed is restricted to something - but what? If restricted to
4x (1T), then it is neither HighSpeed nor UltraSpeed and cannot be
written faster than 4x. But what does 2T mean?

Mike


I'm afraid I have no idea. :-(
