Hi,

I tested dvdrtools with a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 burner.

I tested with the original Pioneer 4x DVD-R recordable which is 
inside the retail box :

Well this is quite good i think, this pioneer with firmware 1.21 seems to be
the fastest kid in town. However i tested also with some cheaper
recordables, the PRINCO DVD-R 1x,2x For Data & Video :

[jackson:root]:(/mnt/dvdrip)# dvdrecord -v speed=1 dev=2,1,0 -dao takedown.raw

This failing is quite reproducable on my system. 3 PRINCO recordables
just failed.
