Smart ripper runs at the speed your DVD rom drive can support....
It usally takes me 20-30 minutes for a 100 minute movie or so.
Also what you are doing in the background on the computer will affect it...
So to speed it up....get more resources free.

i think my dvd drive support 4x, how can we check? i bought this long time ago. Also it took about almost 2 hrs to rip about 10%, i think that really slow. i think it rip at like 0.1x or something like that. i got 512 MB of DDR running 1.533 Ghz AMD processor. so i think my system is enough to do the job but something is not right.

Oh I see, Thats slower than dirt....
Did you say it once worked right and now it does not...or was that on another system?
Do you use a bat file to start it up with the right command line...mine starts with "smartripper -sn" something to do with NoAspi calls
Other than that I would probly check and maybe download another smartripper to see if maybe a file got corupted...sould at least work at 1X but never 0.1X.

well i do notice when smart ripper startup and it reading the dvd rom......it said something about no aspi found. is this a problem? i think i do have aspi layers in my computer because my burner work. i dont know anything about aspi could this be a problem. how do i use a comand line? thanks

I dont know anything about it either...but I use this batch file to enter the command line switches and it always works
I'll email it to ya...its like less than a kb
