Can anyone comment on the writing speeds of DVD-R units and what we might expect in the next few years? We use Pioneer A-03/04 units for archiving data from our facility instrument and use cdrecord-prodvd-1.11 on a RH 7.2 Linux PC. Even though I've heards though the group that the A-04 can write at 2x (the A-3 presumably at only 1x) we can't get the software to anything other than 1x on even the A-04. We would like to speed up the process of archiving data to DVD-R so faster speeds would be really useful. However, we don't want to lose reliability and data integrity. What can we expect in the near future on speed and reliability/integrity? Is cdrecord-prodvd the best software to use? thanks, Colin Aspin
Hi Colin,Using dvdrecord from the dvdrtools package http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/, I am recording 2x on DVD-R media with A03 and A04 drives without any problems.
In fact as noted by a few posts yesterday, we have a slight problem that if 2x media is used, the -speed= parameter seems to be ignored and we cannot burn at 1x, only 2x.
As I only use it to burn images prepared elsewhere and am unfamiliar with cdrecord-prodvd, I can't comment if dvdrecord will suit you.
