Re: dvd+rw-tools-5.14.4.7.4.tar.gz



Hi Andy,

oh, I'm so stupid. I assumed that hardware / software does
automaticly set the speed to a reasonable value.
After trying with speed=2 instead of =4 the DVD-R was burned
but still inaccessable.
And now after playing around a long time I figured out
that the media is designed for 1x ;-)

Nevertheless, I tried the version 5.13 as you recommended
but I can't switch to speed=1 (error message, that growisofs
can not switch to this speed).
When I use 5.14 and speed=1 it burns with 2x.
What can I do?

thx + cu
