DVD ripping: prob w/drive

Postby Akashio » Thu Aug 21, 2003 3:22 pm

I have a Poineer 16X DVD-ROM drive but whenever I rip a DVD, the speed never goes above 2.0x! Why is this? How can I fix it?

Make sure you have some ASPI Drivers installed. I remember reading something about the default XP communications layer being slow. Also if you have any stream processing going on(removing audio, subs from vob) that can sometimes slow you down a bit.

However, I have an 8X DVD-ROM and I get about 5.6 - 6X reads. So yours is kind of strange.

What program are you using?

Akashio, have you ever considered all these problems to be a sign from God telling you to get a Mac?

Ok, I installed the newest ASPI <sp?> drivers for XP and set it up for a P4 system (they didnt have 2500+ AMD as an option), yet it still runs at 2.0x when I rip a dvd! Why is this happening to me? No... God is not cyber-smiting me for owning a PC....

You may just be stuck with the 2x ripping.

My fancy-schmancy Sony DVD burner does that too. It just plain won't read a DVD-Video disc faster than 2x.

The crusty old 6x Samsung drive I have as a slave on the same IDE channel in the same system will rip right up to its rated speed, so I doubt it's an ASPI issue.

I'm very partial to Toshiba DVD drives.

I've had great results from both the 12x and 16x drives I have here, and they excel at audio CD ripping, too.

Good, quiet, reliable drives.

I've had my Lite-On DVD drive for about 3 years now and it's starting to act up... :cry:

But it has done well! :)
