Lower the speed, sounds like good idea. Even tho burning at speed=1 or
speed=2 is a real pain.

Do you or anyone else happen to know i DVD-burner that works as it
should under NetBSD ?
Im willing to put out the money for a new burner and get rid of this,
this one has given me alot of problems.
I tried with dvdrecord also, no luck there either. Just keeps on
coasting these DVD's, i guess i now have spent more money on coasting
DVD's than the actual DVD-burner costed.
