I also have a NEC 3520A and using K3B on Feisty. When I burn a DVD, in
the "Burn Medium" popup window, in the "speed" drop-down menu, my only
choices are "Auto", "ignore" and "2.4x". If I choose "Auto" it seems to
burn at 2x which is really slow. If I choose "Ignore" it burns at full
capcity: 16x. This is a combo drive, capable of burning DVD's and CD's.
The CD burning speeds are all detected when I insert a CD, but not DVD.

I am using K3B version 3.5.6. When I was using Edgy, I could use the
drop-down speed menu and choose 8x. I'm not sure which version that was
but I do know it was an earlier version, but it did detect all capable
speeds of my DVD Burner. I always used K3B for all my burning needs. But
now that I can't burn at my preferred writing speed (8x), I'm thinking
of trying something else unfortunately.

This didn't used to happen on the same drive with an earlier version of
K3B. Isn't there a config file somewhere for K3B that I can manually add
the proper device burning speeds of my NEC DVD Burner so it will reflect
all of them (especially 8x) in the "Speed" drop-down menu?

Someone at Ubuntu forums has suggested downgrading K3B to version 1.0.3...so will try that.
