Hi, since the problem will soon be old enough to go to school, i propose to fix a bug in the libburn plugin of Brasero which is to see at https://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/tree/plugins/libburnia/burn-libburn.c#n558
This line obviously gets a number out of brasero's state: brasero_job_get_rate (BRASERO_JOB (self), &rate); This line hands over the number to libburn as read speed, and orders maximum write speed by value 0: burn_drive_set_speed (priv->ctx->drive, rate, 0); It should obviously be burn_drive_set_speed (priv->ctx->drive, 0, rate); Quoting my predecessors and myself from http://libburnia-project.org/browser/libburn/trunk/libburn/libburn.h /** Sets drive read and write speed Note: "k" is 1000, not 1024. 1xCD = 176.4 k/s, 1xDVD = 1385 k/s. Fractional speeds should be rounded up. Like 4xCD = 706. @param d The drive to set speed for @param read Read speed in k/s (0 is max, -1 is min). @param write Write speed in k/s (0 is max, -1 is min). */ void burn_drive_set_speed(struct burn_drive *d, int read, int write); As we are at it, how about a log line like this one ? BRASERO_JOB_LOG (BRASERO_JOB (self), "Setting libburn write speed to %d", rate); Now: Arise ye users from your slumber, and get some Ubuntu maintainer to verify my findings, to install a patch and to report upstream. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to brasero in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656297 Title: Brasero always burns CD/DVD at max speed (speed option is ignored) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/brasero/+bug/656297/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
