burn:/// writing speed...


I usually burn CDs with burn:///
Is it possible to burn CDs at a different writing speed than just "1x" and "maximum" speed? There are no other options in the pull-down menu. I would like to burn some CDs with 8x or even 4x speed...

Pong!

All options are available when you use the command line tools that the gui thingies front for. Try the command line tools and see what you think.

Is it configured and what is the device? Command this to find out:

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try the command line ASAP!
But is there maybe a way to add those options in the GUI - like, editing a config file or something like that?

Pong!
