Look at the package the cdrw came in. Does it say something like 1x-4x or 4x Multi Speed? If it does the max speed you can write to the cdrw is 4x no matter how fast your cdrw drive is. This can't be changed because the 4x speed limit is hardcoded in the cdrw media itself and your cdrw drive and cdrecord is using it to set the max writing speed of the drive. This is what cdrecord is telling you via the following lines. > Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 4 in write mode for > single session. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
