The computer grinds down so slow top wasn't even updating its info hardly but it finally said cdrecord was at about 70% cpu usage. "X" was at 20%+ cpu when at idle it isn't even on the list. Cpu state was 2% user 98% system. I am using the burnproof option and I found it interesting that in burning the redhat iso (over nfs) it reported: Track 01: 648 of 648 MB written (fifo 100%). Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 679542784/679542784 (331808 sectors). Writing time: 565.927s Fixating... Fixating time: 19.872s cdrecord: fifo had 10704 puts and 10704 gets. cdrecord: fifo was 665 times empty and 12 times full, min fill was 0%. with the audio it said: Writing time: 314.206s Fixating... Fixating time: 8.501s cdrecord: fifo had 11323 puts and 11323 gets. cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 1312 times full, min fill was 1%. very confused here -- Matt > Perhaps the conversion of .wav to a CDDA format?
