Sorry for capturing this thread :-), I know that my drive is a LG and not a

But I think the problem with the speed option of growisofs 6.0 is vendor
independent, my guess is that it should happen with all drives with minimum
writing speed of 2. I hope that I'm not wrong about that, I bet it would make
it more difficult to fix if it *is* an vendor specific problem with LG.
I just did a DVD-R this morning with a Pioneer drive, as a test of the
6.0 version. The report is:

and it worked perfectly. Media is some "whatever was cheapest no-name"
from a computer show. They have been working fine in all my machines,
and cost me $50 for 4x100 spindles. The name is "ValueDisk." I believe
they will run up to 8x in a more modern burner, but my newest D/L unit
is powered down for a drive install, so I am not motivated to test more
tonight.
growisofs 6.0 works fine for me here, with cheap or HP DVD-R, and with
LITEON LDW-451S unit, although dvd+rw-mediainfo can't give me info on
the liteon (2.6.15 kernel, old ones work).
