[Bug 52666] DVD burning is extremely slow

[Rengarajan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

I have a Plextor PX-750UF USB/IEEE 1394 drive. It can burn DVD+Rs at 16x
speed. When I tried to burn a 16x RITEK DVD it took about 45 minutes
(the size of the ISO is about 4 GB). The same ISO burns under 6 minutes
on Microsoft Windows with Nero 6.

I tried both GnomeBaker and nautilus-cd-burner. The same behavior is
exhibited by both USB and IEEE 1394. Also I noticed that after the
burning started my system is left with only 49 MB of free memory
(reported by top command) out of the 2 GB my system has. I don't know if
this has anything to with it but wanted to report it anyway.

I am running Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS on a Dell D610 2.1GHz processor 2G
RAM and 80GB harddisk.

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks,
Rajan
