Just to let people know who have the same problem. <br>
I exchanged my NEC drive with a BENQ DW1655, which is silent like a
Consmer Electronics(CE) device. Unlike the NEC, It responds to the
speed settings with hdparm. hdparm -E4 /dev/hdc works like
a charm.<br>
BENQ drives are developed by Philips, so I suspect all their drives and
others that are developed by Philips honour the speed settings. Does
anyone know if LG drives react to hdparm -Ex<br>
<br>
Now I can concentrate on the second problem: playvback of
recorded programs drifts away from the indexes, so that after a few
minutes into the program, skip forward and skip back don't get you to
the expected position. <br>
Has anyone seen this? (and solved it:-)<br>
<br>

Do you know how this interacts with Xine? When playing a dvd, I
don't see anything mounted. And even issuing hdparm after starting
playing doesn't help the noise level much. Playback does however get
choppier, so it might actually work on the disc speed, but not on the
noise level of my particular drive.<br>
<br>
I probably will have to look for a new/better dvd-rewriter. Does
anyone have a good recomendation with respect to brand/type?<br>
<br>
