I have a problem. Since some versions ago, k3b doesn't recognise well the speed of my DVDs. I've tried with 8x and 16x DVDs but k3b always reduces burning speed to 4x. On the other hand, the DVDs are perfectly burned at about 3.9x speed.
Is there a problem with my configuration or with my hardware? I use Kubuntu with cdrdao 1.1.9, cdrecord 2.01, dvdrw-tools 5.21.4 and dvdrtools 0.2.1 (all fron official Kubuntu repositories).
Thanks a lot

Besides, I've seen the program copies each song as a diferent file so if you copy 50 files 50 transfer dialogs are opened. I think it'd be better to transfer all files at same time.
Well, I hope this will be useful. Thanks again and sorry my awful English.

First of all, congratulations for this great app. I've got a problem with the notifications. I use the kicker's option that make it dissapear when you are not over it. The problem is that I can't see the bottom half of the notification when kicker is not on top. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks a lot. - Dec 27 2005

I have a problem between mkisofs and growisofs. It seems that the buffer isn't enought and my dvd burning speed reduces to 0.5x to 2.5x.
I've found and fix called pipebuf that solves the problem when you use mkisofs and growisofs in console.
Is there anything similar for k3b? How can i write dvd at normal speed.
Thanks - Dec 10 2005

Dolphin Service Menus by albireo 7 comments
Your question is interesting and I don't know exactly how KDE controls the order or de service menus. I thing the order is due to the name of the .desktop file. In my computer, if i rename xmmsdirectory.desktop into xmmszdirectory.desktop the Play with XMMS service go after Enqueue one. So yo can try to rename the file (for example adding an 'a' at the begining).
Another system is to add the line X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel in the section [Desktop Entry] of each service menu. This put the service out of the Actions menu, in the principal tree.
Try these things and say me your results. I'm going to continue investigating. - Jul 21 2005

I have "discovered" another way (probably you alredy know it) that consists in execute konqueror as the user you are (for example clicking "Advanced options" in the properties of the application). So kdesu is forced to be executed and konqueror is open with metabar option.
The problem i have found with these two methods is that i feel konqueror charges slower (but it can be only my subjective impression).
So, if you clever minds find a solution please, notify us it.
Thanks a lot and sorry my horrible english. - Apr 05 2005
