83 hours to capture???

[bradaland]

Hi I started running a Smart Ripper 2.4 and it says it will take about 83 hours to rip?? What am I doing wrong? The speed was at 0.1% on smart ripper, I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 w/ DVD tray and separate CD-R tray, pentium 3, 256RAM. Something tells me my drive should read faster than at 0.1%... Anyone out there who can help me adjust the settings if any??

Thanks!

Another question...how long should it normally take to capture a DVD that is let's say 90 minutes?

Takes me about nine minutes to rip DVDs. My drive is a Pioneer DVD-116 that reads at 16X max, but in SmartRipper in file mode it rips at about 10-13X, sometimes a bit faster. When you rip your DVDs with SmartRipper, do it in file mode, it makes your DVDROM rip quicker than in Movie mode, atleast that is the case with me.

Thanks, Tried that and it is still ripping at 0.1% in file mode too. Is it because of my O/s Win 2000?

It's not Win 2000. Sounds like a hardware problem. I'm using a cheap "Made in China" DVD player - rips a 2hr flick in 10-12 min. Check your "Device Manager" - set the DVD for Ultra DMA.

Not saying any of these are the problem but:

1) Make sure DMA is enabled for the OS/BIOS and the DVD-ROM
2) Put the DVD-ROM on 2nd master and rip to your HD on primary master. At the very least don't rip with the HD and DVD-ROM on the same IDE controller.
3) Make sure the DVD is clean. You'd be surprised how much finger prints f&ckup the process
