How do I slow down my rip speed?

[drewson99]

I have noticed that when ripping CDs (not DVDs) at full speed, there are some skips and errors every once in a while which do not occur when ripping CDs at slower speeds (on my other computer).

I was wondering if I can put a rip speed ceiling on my DVD burner so it rips DVDs at 1X (right now it rips at about 2.2X)

Or, can someone assure me that ripping at 2.2X won't produce the same types of glitches with regard to DVDs.

What exactly are we talking about here, ripping or burning?

ripping, sorry about that.

[drewson99]

anyone?

Your application could let you do that - for example, Nero and Easy CDDA Extractor from Poikosoft all allow you to select a rip speed. You might have to hunt around in the options, but most extraction utilities allow this - it's quite a common request.

I can rip dvd`s at 10x and never get an error or glitch due to rip speed,only cd ripping is where errors can occur easily if ripping too fast.

... which is what the original post said ?

That's what I get for not reading past the first line...

Dear Drewson99

I did understood that in DVD field there is an important difference with CD audio.

DVD are always strong protected by errors correction code and, like CD data, it is impossible to rip wrong thing as may can happen in Audio CD.

Infact you can read and extract VOB file with explorer like a simple pure data file. This is not possible for Audio CD where Windows explore is not able to extract audio content of CD.

So speed is not a real problem if the extraction arrives at the end. If the process stops on errors will became relevant the capability to reduce speed; this capability normally is self-implemented in the ripping program.

What are you using to rip the CDs? I use NERO, and if it starts detecting errors, it will automatically drop speed down and re-read the section. If all goes well with the read, it will read up to 35X.

The original NERO installation disk has an audio track that you can do testing of your CD-ROM on. A lot of the limitations of CD ripping are due to your hardware. You can get the NERO CD Speed program from the NERO site and can also do the testing of your hardware to see if it can actually do DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) accurately.

Wrong !!

Well, inaccurate. You can if the disc does not have CSS. If it's on a DVD-R for example, you can. If not, you'll end up with files full of rubbish.

this is another question!!

Here we try to clarify if this is possible to find errors in a Vob extracted.

If Vob extracted was an encrypted one (with CCS) you will have not errors but a simple file readed withouth decryption process...and this is totally another problem!!!

[SLK001]

When a VOB is extracted, it is checked against the error codes present on the DVD (it's just a file system). Once extracted, it is unencrypted, the written to your hard disk with newly calculated ECC (error correction codes).

The ECCs is just overhead for the file system, and has nothing to do with the DVD encryption scheme.

What are you using to rip the CDs? .

Using MusicMatch. It does the same thing, it slows down when it is having problems, but from time to time they come through anyway.

I am feeling more confident that DVDs don't have such problems. thanks for the input.
