Unbelievable slow speeds when burning DVDs
Hi,
I have a laptop and I am running KDE 3.4.1 on love-sources 2.6.12_rc6. I am
using K3B 0.12 to burn DVD/CD discs and everything is fine when I burn a CD.
But, things are really slow when I burn a DVD, and the average speed is
~0.5x. It takes about 1 hour to burn 3GB of data. What bothers me is that the
hard disk is not sending data all the time. The transfer rates oscillates
between 0 and ~4MB/s (roughly 2x).
Is this behavior due to a problem with the IDE driver or because growisofs
does not support the DVD burner.
I am using growisofs 5.21 and the DVD burner is a QSI DVD+/-RW SDW-082.
Now, in windows, with Nero, I burn at about 4x and it takes roughly 10min to
burn 3GB.
If you need more informations about my system, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you,
Vasilis
