SmartRipper Ripping Slooow

[Jokerjun]

Smart ripper ver 2.31 rips at 1X all the time.
Takes about 1- 1 1/2 hours to rip.
Other machines with my spec are doing it in 15 min.

1) 16X DVD-ROM
2) 1.2GHz Athlon + 512MB memory
3) 40 GIG UDMA-100 hard drive
4) Windows ME

Proberly a bad configuration-setting, or bug in prog.

I've got nearly same configuration with you, only I got 256SDRAM. With me it runs fast (complete movie in just a few minutes : not 15min.)
Try another version of SmartRipper. Keep in mind that SmartRipper only runs on an ASPI-driver. wNT4 doesn't have one installed if your mb is same like me : VIAchipset. If you've w98se or wME it souldn't be a prob, didn't test yet with w2k.

Ah! Had the same problem
Not sure if it will work for you but this is how I got round the problem.

My DVD reader was set to slaved to the H/D, All I did was moved it to master on it's own ide channel & hey presto, The matrix ripped in 10:01 mins. I asume you've got the h/d on the udma channel ?
Av read speed was 6x - hope to get this upto 10+......if anyone has any suggestions.

Enable your DMA setting inside of the DVD drives properties.

I had slow ripping problems until I flashed my bios and then it sped up. I have a abit kt7 raid, if you have an abit I suggest flashing your bios.
