Inserted media into another drive and it appears to be burning normally. Except that it reported the speed at 2.5x instead of 2.4x. This unit was not bound to a raw device. It completed the burn in 22 minutes as I would expect for 4.2 GBytes. This is interesting. dvd+rw-tools 5.17

If you have burnfree ON the drive just dramatically slows down. *If* it turns to be true, then it would be the first DVD recorder I've seen to do such thing. I mean I so far haven't seen a single DVD recorder which would decrease DVD recording velocity because buffer underrun protection was

I just did run a test that verifies that the 708 in fact returns 36 bytes. So the problem is definitely caused by a Linux driver bug. I tend to believe that growisofs just does not check the SCSI status byte Quoting myself. Under Linux kernel 2.4 growisofs counts on sr_mod to check the

... tried using -speed=4 and it still took 28 minutes. Here the reported speed was 4.1x though. This recording time would seem to me to be closer to 2x speed. The write LED is illuminated constantly so I do not think there are any buffer under-runs that would account for the slower
