i'm a newbie, and i was having that problem where smartripper goes at 1.2x or something and i just thought i'd share what worked for me. all my drivers were correct, and oddly enough my dvd drive didn't work when i enabled it to dma. it was previously hard drive as primary master, cd-rw as secondary master and dvd-rom as secondary slave. i switched the cd-rw and the dvd-rom, and magically the drives could be read in dma mode and now i get 5-18x. hope this helps any other newbies.
