Re: Speed problems with PX-716A

I sent two mails in the past on this list about recording speed
problems.

I repost it here ..

Hi,
I have a NEC 3500 Dvd Writer.
I have problems with the recording speed.
I tried two different brand of dvd-r (one from princo that is certified
for 4x recording, and one from philips that is certified for 8x), but
cdrecord-ProDVD always writes the DVDs at 6x speed.

Here is the output of the program; tell me if I can supply additional
debugging data.
