What do speed low: 4 speed high: 8 and speed low: 0 speed high: 4 tell you? [snip] > They're *NOT* the same kind of CD-RW media. Do yourself a favor and > read a FAQ or book on how CD-RW drives work before giving other people > advice on them. Stop flaming without reason. Please go back and read my message again. All I claimed is that I *do* have CD-RW media from Parrot which are _labelled_ 4x, but can be written at 10x, and internal hardcoded flags on the CD-RW itself allow that. Further, I have had high-speed CD-RW which are labelled 4x-10x which cannot be written 6x, but only 4x, 8x and 10x. And why did I write that? Because the user in this thread wrote he has 16x (!) media (you did overlook that in your reply, Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0210271533000.1374-100000@localhost.localdomain>), but cannot write them at 6x. So, either they are mislabelled or the drive doesn't like them or cdrecord plays a role, too. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9vTlw0iMVcrivHFQRAhPHAJ4tWDLtFP+CKou1grnIQyuiKV6KgACaA7Yn 1eSVglFl52EJ/qYzOH7NWkY= =IonF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
