Sudden rip speed drop

[Pisces225]

I've got a Pioneer drive, not sure of the exact model off the top of my head, but it probably doesn't matter.

I've been using the drive for about 3 months and have always ripped at 10x. Suddenly I've dropped to ripping at about 2.7x for no reason. I checked the DMA and all that, everything seems fine and I've not changed any settings or anything in what I'm doing. Anyone else experience this?

this recently happened to a friend of mine..

his problem was a combination of spyware + fragmentation.

This can also be related to the particular dvd you are processing .

It is normally struck where the release was produced on low speed media .

To make sure it's not spyware use adaware se .
For virus and trojan's , use avg antivirus free .

If they find nothing , locate a dvd you original worked on where the speed was at the original speed you were getting .

If they now prove slow , the problem is with aspi layer .

Try using the force aspi pack , that should bring it up .

The new force aspi package creates a backup of the original , so there is no problems with returning system back to previous condition .
