ong discusion. But for example in my system can't write DVD because "DMA speed check fail" with cdrecord, and with cdrkit (the wodim) can record without problems.

Rants without a proof do not help in case you really have a problem.

There is no known problem in cdrecord related to the DMA test. There are many known problems in the fork....

If you _really_ believe you found a problem in cdrecord, why don't you make a bug report? Note that you of course need to verify that there is a problem with the latest version.

All known problems in the original software are fixed in typically much less than two weeks. More than 95% of the bugs in the fork have not been fixed after more than two years. Why do you like to use the fork if there is working original software _with_ maintanance?

Hi Jörg, Now i tested the latest alpha version of cdrecord ( cdrtools-2.01.01a57.tar.gz ) and its work perfect without the DMA problem. The version that failed was <= cdrtools-2.01.01a55.tar.gz, with these versions i need to set very low write speed (when i upgraded my DVD writer from PATA to SATA, both LG) Now inform this: "cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped." http://djgera.pastebin.com/m35195bbe I prefer to use cdrecord, is the soft that i used for 7 years with my previus distribution (Slackware Linux) and as you said, is updated very often. Thanks for the work! :) I take this message to make a consultation, this was one of the major topics of discussion between you and some Linux developers. Does cdrecord: allowing access through dev=/dev/xyz, or as the message says: "Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported". will be removed in future versions? PS: I apologize if my message was a bit confusing. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
