GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333486
Wrong DVD speeds
Last modified: 2006-07-31 21:25:15 UTC
n-c-b allows the selection of the writing speed, unfortunately there are two (really three) speeds: - CD speeds : 1x == 150 KB/s (176 for audio CDs) - DVD speeds : 1x == 1385 KB/s The speed is retrived from the drive's capabilities and *always* handled as a CD speed. My drives says it can write 2770 KB/s (DVD 2x) but we immediately convert that value to 15x (the *audio* CD speed) and use that value everywhere, even when writing DVD. If the user selects 15x from the combo box and then write a DVD, we pass -speed=15 to growisofs, not "2". (as a side note, here this results in unreadable DVD because my can't write that fast).
Created attachment 60838 [details] [review] Patch
This patch uses the right speed when writing the various media types. It present a list of both the speeds in the form "CD 18 x, DVD 1 x" if the disc type cannot be determined, the list of CD speeds it the disc type is a CD and DVD speeds if the disc is a DVD. It also detect and update when a new disc is inserted.

Created attachment 63887 [details] [review] patch Looks nice Fabio. I've updated your patch with: * Remove unused NAUTILUS_BURN_DRIVE_MEDIA_TYPE_IS_CD * Fix showing of Maximum possible in speed list * fix spacing in strings for dropdown list * Don't show DVD speeds for drives that aren't DVD recorders when no media in drive
Fabio, if you want to follow all of the n-c-b bugs you can setup your bugzilla email preferences to watch the "nautilus-cd-burner-maint@gnome.bugs" user. Nice work.
Nice, thanks!
