Burning dvds
I am trying to burn dvds with dvdrecord (sid), but I am getting very
uneven and not uniform results. I have tried lowering to -speed=4, but
judging from the counter it doesn't pay any attention to it and keep
racing. two days ago with -dummy all was beautiful, next, when I
removed the dummy option, it gave me an error in less than 20
seconds. Last night I got it to burn to the end, but gave errors while
fixating. I didn't record the session. I am using 2.6.5, with ATAPI of
course. More info about my system:
