Thanks for the response and sorry for the delay! I actually don't burn optical discs very often anymore and needed to wait for another opportunity to arise (my discs are DVD+R which don't work with simulated writing, and I didn't want to waste them in order to test).
With -speed=1, growisofs still writes at maximum speed (16x). However, with xorrecord, the speed control works fine. Thanks for suggesting those tools; my GNU/Linux burning knowledge has been out of date for a while and I lost track of all the forks. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654392 Title: growisofs -speed parameter has no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dvd+rw-tools/+bug/1654392/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
