I know this problem from the "OSS"-cdrecord version included in
rescue system RIP-14.4. It does only happen with my LG DVD/CD burner
but not with my LITE-ON CD burner.
The cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu binary which i use
for research purposes (:), can blank 4x and 12x media on both
burners under RIP-14.4. 

It depends on the CD era wether 4x CD is considered ultra speed :))

BTW: libburn is able to blank under RIP on both burners, too.

(./configure, make, test/blank
 If you only got one writer or are lucky then test/blank will try
 the intended device. Else you need to edit test/blank.c and set
 a drive number other then 0. Obtain drive list by test/devices .)


Have a nice day :)
