But your drive - the Pioneer DVR-104 - has a minimal DVD writing speed of 1x
(see
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_4249_47473,00.html).
So my guess about the problem with the speed-option of version 6.0 for drives
with minimal burning speeds > 1x is still a possible explanation for the
behaviour of growisofs with my drive.
