Cdrecord refuses to write faster than 4x. (latest alpha)
Hello.
I have a 'HL-DT-ST' 'RW/DVD GCC-4240N' '0111' Removable CD-ROM combo
cdwriter in my laptop. The cdwriter is certified for 24x burning, but
cdrecord only lets it burn in 4x mode for most cdbrands. I have tried
5-6 brands of cds, and te poorest quality brands is the ones that it
will alow to burn more than 4x.
I think this is a bug in cdrecord. Coult you look into it, and please
send me a mail if there is any more information I should extract for
you. I enclose this file with cdrecord output from the different
cdbrands I have tried.
Thank you very much in advance.
Håvard.
