Hey all
I've been at this for a few months now and am figuring things out, but I have one nagging problem. I can only burn cd's at 1-2x. I have a lite-on 16x burner and am using eroaster as a front end. I have tried various frontends and different versions of cdr-tools, with no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? and if so how can I fix it?
Running RH7.2, scsi emulation works and i can burn cd's at 16x in winblows.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance
eric
my burner is slave on the 2nd ide channel, dvd is master. I started with cdrecord v1.10 and had the formentioned problem. When v1.11 alpha came out i downloaded and installed from source. I then screwed up my system in an unrelated fiasco and reinstalled completely. This time I downloaded rpms of cdrecord v1.11a12 and upgraded. Scsi scanbus detects at 0,0,0 which is correct. and when I burn, cdrecord output says I'm burning at 16x but it takes like 40 minutes to burn a cd. Burnproof is enabled.
Have an athlon 1.2 ghz with 512mb ddr ram so resources aren't the issue. Im stumped......
Thanks fro the reply
Well, Its got me stumped......All I can think of is for you to check out the doc's at the cdrecord home page to see if there is an issue with your burner.
the problem.
Been messing around a bit tonight. When I burn a cd, top states that cpu usage is close to 100%. Seems a bit high to me. Will have to do some searching around to find out what the issue is. thanks for the tip David, I'll try it out tomorrow.
peace y'all
