[vdr] Re: putting DVD in "quiet" mode

hello matthias + all!

a nearly 5mb-file only to make a dvd spin slower.
that.s one of the most perverted things i.ve ever
seen. ;)) but thanx anyway. :)
cd-bremse for windows does the same and is only
a few k. so IT IS possible. but i can.t find any
way under linux. :(
if so i.ll let you all know.
btw: how do YOU ALL slow down your dvd-rom ?
do you use hdparm? or is there any other way
i don.t know?

servus hannes!
