Software control over dvd drive speed


Does linux have any software whch can control the speed of my DVD drive. It's very noisey sometimes when it spins up the disc. Sounds like a lawn mower.

You should look at installing "setcd". I have never used it personally, but it has the ability to set the CD read speed and other things. The man page for it is here: http://linux.com.hk/PenguinWeb/manpa...n=1&name=setcd

You can use hdparm in Fedora if you can't find the setcd package. There is a little howto here: http://linux.dbw.org/notesreader.php...re-support.txt
