I currently have an SATA DVD-RW drive for my computer. I have to boot
using a CURRENT kernel to get the drive recognized, and dmesg lists it
as running at 3.3MB/s. Running mplayer -dumpstream gets around 3 megs
a second. Copying off a data dvd gets about the same. But I recall
reading about playing a dvd before trying to get the data off of it
when using dd, and it seems to work. But the odd part is, it can get
up to 20 megabytes a second. Does anyone know how to get the higher
speeds all the time?
