Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
I have a Plextor PX-750UF USB/IEEE 1394 drive. It can burn DVD+Rs at 16x speed. When I tried to burn a 16x RITEK DVD it took about 45 minutes (the size of the ISO is about 4 GB). The same ISO burns under 6 minutes on Microsoft Windows with Nero 6.
I tried both GnomeBaker and nautilus-cd-burner. The same behavior is exhibited by both USB and IEEE 1394. Also I noticed that after the burning started my system is left with only 49 MB of free memory (reported by top command) out of the 2 GB my system has. I don't know if this has anything to with it but wanted to report it anyway.
I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS on a Dell D610 2.1GHz processor 2G RAM and 80GB harddisk.
Let me know if you need further information.
Thanks,
Rajan
Are you sure that the DVD media you are burning to supports 16x?
