cdrecord

[shuzi]

i use cdrecord for burning my cds:

the command i enter is :

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 file.iso

where dev=0,0,0 is my CDRW.

The problem is that it takes around 15 mins to write a cd which is definitely slower than my windows performace of around 5 mins.

i have a SONY CRX195E1 (40x/12x/48x).

so apparently cdrecord is writing a cd slower than 40x. Also the media i am using is 40x compliant media. so is there any additional options that i need to add to the above cdrecord command to write cds at the said speed?

try adding the speed=12 or speed=40 arguments to the command, depending on the media.

it was a referance to the depending on the media. the drive and the cd media itself limit the speed of burning.
