Don't want to start another bug for this, because this is related:

Nautilus CD burner does not seem to recognize the maximum burn speeds of my drive / the cd's to be burned.

If I right click the cd icon on the desktop and select Copy Disc, I can choose a write speed from the menu. The choices go as high as 11x which I think my drive doesn't even support. Furthermore if I select Maximum possible the burn process allways fails and I get a message like 'try to use slower write speed'.

Should the Maximum possible first evaluate the capabilities of the drive and then the disc, or how does it work?

My drive is QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW242B and it has these capabilities according to device manager:

storage.cdrom.write_speed : 1762 (0x6e2)

I don't know what does that 1762 mean and my laptop's manual didn't mention the speed of the drive but I believe that it was something like 4x for CD-RW and not much more with CD-R. So the list should not go as high as 11x...
