when I burn something with nautilus i can only choose between 1x-8x burning but I have a 52x burner, how can I choose a faster "burning-speed", for example 48x? like this it takes years to burn a cd 8O


thanks doubleoseven

How fast can you burn also depends on the media too. If you have a 8X CD-R, then you can only burn it at 8X... Have you tried k3b to see if you can get a faster speed?

Using hdparm. Assuming /dev/hda is the burner you can do:

Code:

home ~ # hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=HL-DT-ST GCE-8526B, FwRev=1.02, SerialNo=
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:227,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 3a:

 * signifies the current active mode

home ~ # hdparm -d /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
home ~ # hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
home ~ #

I hope that this will help

here by the way what it gave out when I tried what IvanYosifov said:
Code:
root@rocky /home/christian % hdparm -i /dev/hdc                         <18:06>

/dev/hdc:

 Model=LITE-ON LTR-52246S, FwRev=6S0D, SerialNo=
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:227,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive conforms to: device does not report version:

 * signifies the current active mode

root@rocky /home/christian % hdparm -d /dev/hdc                         <18:07>

/dev/hdc:
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
root@rocky /home/christian % hdparm -d l /dev/hdc                       <18:07>
l: No such file or directory
root@rocky /home/christian % hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc                       <18:07>

/dev/hdc:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
root@rocky /home/christian %                                            <18:08>

Oh... so you can't select a higher speed... Three things come to mind:
1) Use 'Highest Possible' and see what speed is actually achieved.
2) Try k3b.
3) Report to bugs.gentoo.org that your burner you can't select a higher speed and you know it is supported. Maybe your burner is wrongly identified or something...

nautilus-cd-burner and k3b are quite different. If you feel like helping solve the problem - report it to bugs.gentoo.org .Maybe HAL is incorectly identifying the media you use. K3b does not use HAL and can not have any HAL problems.
