I am trying to burn dvds with dvdrecord (sid), but I am getting very uneven and not uniform results. I have tried lowering to -speed=4, but judging from the counter it doesn't pay any attention to it and keep racing. two days ago with -dummy all was beautiful, next, when I removed the dummy option, it gave me an error in less than 20 seconds. Last night I got it to burn to the end, but gave errors while fixating. I didn't record the session. I am using 2.6.5, with ATAPI of course. More info about my system:
