problems with DVD Shrink and others

[hamntre]

I have started having problems using DVD Shrink 3.2, DVD Decrypter, Rip It 4 Me, FixVTS1.6. It use to take 1 hour or less to burn a movie and now it's taking 6 1/2 - 7 hours for one movie. Can someone please tell me what's going on and what I need to do? Thanks so much!!

what is the slow part ?

the ripping ? the fixing, or the burning

I suspect its the ripping and shrinking ?

try defraging the drive, that helped me a lot

PIO vs. DMA mode, defrag, clean out your DVDShrink working folder.

It's everything that's slow. I did defrag and do the PIO & DMA mode and it helped so much. It took probably less than 30 minutes to burn a DVD after I done all the things I was told to do from you guys. Now, how do I clean out my DVDShrink working folder? Thanks for all the help!!

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DVD Shrink and empty the folder.

How do I do that? Thanks so much

Don't worry about it; it is a myth that this makes any difference.
