My DVD is ripping @ 2X????

[Rambytes]

What the... my DVD is a 16X (16x-DVD, 40x-CD)

But in SmartRipper, I only rip at the speed of 2x???

What the problem? It's normal?

[housepig]

yes, it's normal.

many dvd-rom drives are locked to 2x when ripping a dvd-video disc (as opposed to a dvd-rom data disc).

I have a Raite that's not locked, Lite-On is known for not being locked. You might want to get a new drive.

The 'reason' is so excessive drive noise doesn't bother you while watching a DVD movie.

So, how can I unlock this feature? I have a Toshiba SD-M1502.

The only firmware i've found it's for a region-free (already patched).

And what DVD-ROM have a good reputation to rip at a good speed, or can be unlocked to rip faster?

[Pussylips]

Well my run in withis problem with my DVD-Rom was to delete the IDE channel it was on and re-boot. This then enabled me to rip at 7X speed.

but i'm already in the DMA mode...

So, just delete my ide channel will raise my rip speed???

ripping speed can be deceiving. If your using a 16x drive the average dual layer disk should rip in 16-20 minutes.
