Pioneer A05 - Slow rip speed

[steptoe]

Any suggestions as to how/why you can stop the Pioneer A05 burner from insisting on ripping at the super slow speed of x2.0, maybe stretching to a maximum of x2.4

DMA is on, drivers are latest for IDE, burner is on its own cable

So, whats going on here, its the latest firmware as well

hacked firmware my good man. most dvd burners have their rip speed locked around 2x..

the features;

burn @ 2x speed on 1x media
region free
faster ripping speeds (i've seen it hit 9x)

get it here.

Hacked firmware it truly AT YOUR OWN RISK. It has killed my 103 drive for the most part. No more CD, DVD-RW, or read support. Just burns 1x and maybe 2x if in a good mood.

Buy yourself a good 16x DVD-ROM. The 2x limitation is there for a reason. My guess (and that of a software/hardware engineer friend) is that the slow speed is to protect the drive. Maybe this thing has a defect we're not yet aware of?

I've had the hacked firmware on my a05 for acouple months and it has worked like a fine tuned machine! i've hit speeds of 12X off dvds before and burning 2X on 1X media has never caused me a bad disk yet and ive burnt about 200 dvd-r so far but it is a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! just cause it worked for me doesnt mean it wont fry yours but who knows.

are you the cry baby that posts on a bunch of threads about how your dvd burner died?

i think someone called you on it or something..

maybe it nots you.. but whoever it was is the only known person to have had that problem.

Before spouting stupidity, please go check out the forums where these hackers reside. www.firmware-flash.com. That place is crawling with people that have dead drives. And the firmware hackers are well aware of the errors that can happen from hacking a drive. Just ask Flashman, NIL, Gradius, or Battousai: the guys that wrote your hacks.
