Good day, cdrecord version 2.0, under SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro. I want to burn a CD-RW with 1X. No matter what speed I set, cdrecord ignores it and burns with approximately 4X (which is the media's burning ability according to its ATIP). Before the burn starts, cdrecord always says that it will burn at 2X, but the actual burning is always done with 4X I have tried to set the speed to 0, 1 and 2 to no avail. The environment variable CDR_SPEED is empty, and there is no settings file for cdrecord on the system. So there should not be any settings overruling my command ilne. It makes no difference if I burn as root or as a normal user. Under SuSE 8.1 cdrecord always honored my speed requests, with this very drive and with the same media. I have not found any usable solutions on the great internet. Has anyone got any ideas as to what might be wrong? Best regards :o) Johnny :o)
