xoox Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hi. - Mandriva 2006 - USB2 - external Sony USB DVD Burner - K3b According to K3b, the burner's actual speed is 692KB/s (0.5x). This seems pretty slow to me... is there anything I have to change to make this work faster, like at least 2x or 4x speed? Thanks for any hints Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Run the K3B setup (as root), and set a "burning" group. Change the device permissions, and then add yourself to the "burning" group (e.g. by using "kdesu kuser"). Logout of KDE, and then back in.

xoox Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Thanks, I'm going to try that next time. I have already tried to run k3b as root. According to k3b, the speed of rhte DVD-RW disc should be 2770KB/s (2.00x). But when burning, the actual speed was onlu 692KB/s (0.5x) again. That took me 2 hours to burn a 4 GB DVD... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
