Brasero reports incorrect drive speed

Note: this bug may be related to bug 371002.

D'oh.. I meant it may be related to bug 370999.

same problem with jaunty 64bits

The report does not contain useful related information but
there are some drives that report the write speed incorrectly.

Cdrecord includes many workarounds for bad drive firmware...

Get a recent cdrtools source from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Schily, you say the report does not contain useful information.. We have multiple people here experiencing the same problem. Perhaps you could indicate /what/ would be useful information that is missing, and I am sure many of us would be more than willing to provide said information.

Well, it is unclear how brasero gets the write speed.....

Wodim is known to be broken, so in case brasero calls wodim
an incorrectly reported speed is expected. This could be verified
by removing wodim and installing cdrecord instead.

Cdrecord knows workarounds for firmware bugs in most drives
and retrieves the correct write speed. This should visible be in the
cdrecord output.

If the brasero printout stays wrong, this is a brasero bug.
Brasero is written in a non-portable way and tries to send own SCSI commands.
Brasero should rather call cdrecord and parse the output as cdrecord works
on any recent OS.

This is an official patch?

What do you understand by "official"?

I support Schily. I think this problem would be fixed when Ubuntu switched back to cdrecord in stead of using wodim. See http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html I switched to current cd record with K3b as a front end. Works perfectly and it shows the right writing speed!

Reported in 2009! Not a solution yet (2013)?

I don't have an optical drive any more, maybe others have also got rid of them too, and there's no one left to trace down this bug. :)
