I also have a NEC 3520A and using K3B on Feisty. When I burn a DVD, in the "Burn Medium" popup window, in the "speed" drop-down menu, my only choices are "Auto", "ignore" and "2.4x". If I choose "Auto" it seems to burn at 2x which is really slow. If I choose "Ignore" it burns at full capcity: 16x. This is a combo drive, capable of burning DVD's and CD's. The CD burning speeds are all detected when I insert a CD, but not DVD.
I am using K3B version 3.5.6. When I was using Edgy, I could use the drop-down speed menu and choose 8x. I'm not sure which version that was but I do know it was an earlier version, but it did detect all capable speeds of my DVD Burner. I always used K3B for all my burning needs. But now that I can't burn at my preferred writing speed (8x), I'm thinking of trying something else unfortunately. So as far as what someone said earlier that its a hardware issue I'm not so sure, because this didn't used to happen on the same drive with an earlier version of K3B. Isn't there a config file somewhere for K3B that I can manually add the proper device burning speeds of my NEC DVD Burner so it will reflect all of them (especially 8x) in the "Speed" drop-down menu? Someone at Ubuntu forums has suggested downgrading K3B to version 1.0.3...so will try that. __________________ -- k3b slow dvd burn speed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
