[LUG] Slowing down CD/DVD drives?

 

Hi all,

Just about to setup a "Media Centre" type machine (well, recycle an
oldish but quiet and powerful-enough machine) and I was having a
think...  if watching a DVD on the machine directly (rather than
ripping and watching the rip), the DVD drive will be in use during the
movie.  Is there a way to slow down the maximum speed a drive can work
at?  I don't particularly want it blaring away at 8x unnecessarily so.

Cheers.
Grant. :)
