Re: [LAU] CDRDAO speed, CRC errors, blah

Sort of off topic ... but I had some older 2x DVD-RW discs that I tried to burn on my current system. No way. I tossed the discs, my assumption being that the drive could not go slow enough for the disc. If I recall, I tired all the various speed= commands with growisofs, cdrdao, etc. They would report back 8 or 4x (don't recall). I find it somewhat odd that a drive will not slow down and am wondering if that is due to the linux drivers or the actual drives. I'm not completely sure, but I'm sure that the drives used to work with the dvds. Finding better things to do with my time, I did toss the discs ... but it's a wonderment. -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca
