dvd writer speed

[Martin Duclos]

Hey,
I recently replaced a dvd writer. The new one is an LG H22L from which I am 
trying to burn dual layer dvd. The problem is the drive won't recognize the 
proper burn speed of the media. The media is 2.4X and when I try to burn 
with k3b it select 4X. I've tried from cdrecord and it still selects 4X. I 
tried the to set -speed=1 to force a slower speed and I also tried -speed=0 
which is supposed to use the slowest speed of the drive but it still insists 
on burning at 4X. I updated the firmware of the drive with the same results. 
I also had a look at /etc/cdrecord.conf to set CDR_SPEED=1. So the question 
is, is it possible to force the drive to operate at a speed of 1X? I was 
thinking perhaps if I use hdparm to set the drive transfer mode to something 
slower it might do what I expect but I'd rather have another way around it.
Martin
