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.

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. |
