[ale] 24x CD-RW can not write

[Jeff Lightner]

The message doesn't say cdrecord doesn't like ultra high speed medium.
It says your writer (hardware) is likely "improper" (i.e. doesn't
support them)  which I think is what James is saying as well.

So you mean Ultra Speed CD-RW discs, not drives.

The discs are not incompatible with cdrecord. They are incompatible
with your drive. If the drive doesn't have an "Ultra" logo on the door
(or face plate), then it will not work with Ultra Speed discs. I got
burned by this one myself; well, on one of my burners. (pun not
intended)
