Pioneer dvd-305s drive ripping slow

[phugger]

I bought this drive because everybody said it was a very fast ripper. However, when I rip, I can only reach 1.5x (2000kB/s). THe review at CDR info says it reached 8000 kB/s. Any help on reaching these speeds is appreciated.


I am running the drive on an Adaptec 19160 Ultra 160 scsi card. On the U160 channel I have only a Quantum Atlas V Hard drive. On the 50 pin channel, I have only the 305s. Everything is terminated properly and I am using DVD Decrypter 2.4 and have also tried SmartRIpper (latest verison). They both rip the same speed. I tried swtiching decryption methods (VobDEC and DeCSS plus) but it runs at the same speed. THis is on a:

p3 733
w2k sp2
128 pc133 ram
asus cusl2 bios vers 1003
tnt2 pro vid card
blah blah

THanks.

I got the speed up to 5x by disabling Domain Validation in the SCSI Bios. But.... in SCSI-mechanic 3.0 and in CDSpeed2000 the CD-ROM speed posted is "set at 16x". Both programs, however, do say that the max speed is 40x. What's going on? I guess the DVD speed is restricted too.
