Re: Question rgarding cdrecord -atip: Indicated writing power:
: : : I want to determine the fastest speed I can write a CD -R which I'm hoping can be determined from the atip output for Indicated writing power. Not having access to a specification, I have sample disks indicating a speeds up to 16x, but the atip output indicates a writing power: of 7. -- +---+-+ | Kenneth A. Manley | Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +---+-+ My experience has been that I can specify speeds greater than that allowed by the media or drive, and cdrecord will automatically back off to the max speed allowed. It's not clear what your concerns about the Indicated writing power are. -- Frank Hage [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Center for Atmospheric Research -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Burn Errors with Plextor 12/10/32S
Brian Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am burning on Red Hat 7.1 with the Plextor 12/10/32S drive (with the latest firmware updates). I am consistantly getting errors, about one out of every 7. The errors I get are detailed below. In addition whenever I set the speed of the burn to 2 (via speed=2 on the command line) cdrecord still ends up burning at speed 1. The CD-Rs are 80 minute medical grade that are 6X write compatible. Any suggestions for either issure? According to Plextor's specs, this drive can burn CD-R at 1x, 4x, 8x, and 12x. It doesn't do 2x to CD-R media, only to CD-RW. 80-minute blanks have poorer reliability and compatibility than 74-minute blanks, because they push right up against the lower spacing limit of the Red Book spec. You'll get more reliable burns, with any drive, if you use 74-minute blanks. That being said, I've had extremely good results with all media I've tried (74- and 80-minute) in my 12/10/32S drive. Even some no-name 80-minute blanks I got for free (via a rebate program) burn perfectly at 12x. I've been told that modern media often work better at higher burn speeds than at lower speeds - the dye is optimized for a short laser exposure. Burning at 4x might work better than 1x in your case. I'm not sure what you mean by medical grade - I've never seen discs described that way, and have no idea what sort of testing or certification is being done to them to justify this terminology. What brand are they? If you do a cdrecord -atip with a blank disc in the drive, what does it report re the vendor, etc.? You might also want to check to see if the drive is fastened down properly into its mounting bracket, and see if there are any sources of vibration (e.g. fast hard drives, etc.) which might be shaking the drive around. Burners usually need to be kept physically stable during a burn, to keep the beam from being jolted out of the groove. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Philipws pcrw464k: faio_wait_on_buffer time out
Specs: 1) kernel 2.4.2-2 2) cdrecord v 1.11 ( should I be using cdwrite? ) 3) Philips pcrw464k (ext. usb) 4) Based on philips pcrw404 Problem: When I use cdrecord to write to the cd, it detects the drive and begins to write but after a couple of writes, hangs there and the second process gets stuck and doesn't even respond to sudo kill -9 . The last message that is thrown at me is faio_wait_on_buffer: timeed out. I have noticed a lot of these errors on the web, but no one seems to have any consistent answer.

Key2Audio
Someone sent me this message. I thought it would be interesting here in this group. -- Johan This Key2audio protection DOES NOT WORK. I've just bought a SONY MUSIC audio cd which is Key2audio protected (last album of Ozark Henry). It is supposed to be protected against ripping and copies of all kind... I am no specialist in technology, piracy or hacking. I am just a graphic designer. What I did is to launch WinOnCD (and not the last version), make a Audio cd project, letting the software copy the tracks into a temporary folder. This happenned with no problem. And the temporary folder is now containing my ten audio files in WAV format. I listened to them : no audio problem : perfect. What the hell is it for a protection? There was an eleventh track which was recognized as data by WinOnCD. All I did was not dropping it with the audio tracks in the tracks windows of the soft. Have fun ripping the Key2audio protected CD's Now I have got my own personal copy that I can listened to on my computer, and that is how I listened to music usually... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
