Ripping Speed - Smart Ripper

[ffarout]

I purchased a new x16 speed DVD-Rom, installed it fine, no drivers were required (I'm running Win ME, and manual says no drivers required - fair enough). It played my DVD's back fine, using PowerDVD. However, when it came to ripping it only ripped at x2.0. Is there a way of getting this ripping speed up in Smart Ripper, or by any other means?

Make sure you have DMA enabled on both the drive and controller that drive is connected. If that is enabled on both, check to make sure you have ASPI layer, do a search for an app called "ForceASPI"

Toshiba?

I have DMA enabled on the HDD and the DVD. I am not at my home computer right now, but i will check out the ForceASPI. The make of the DVD drive is Relisys, just for reference purposes.

I am having the same proglem. Switched dvd player to my new dual amd machine. Using Win2000 Professional. Old machine would rip 8x. No Aspi installed on both machines. New Machine will rip at only 2x. Slow for a 16x dvd player. Will check the dma etc in Win2000. Any other advice from those using win2000 on what could be the problem?

Tmpgenc flies with 2 AMD's !!!

I've got a LiteOn dvd drive and I had the same exact problem ripping at 2x. I knew to enable DMA, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I switched my burner and dvd around so that the dvd was the primary slave and the burner was the 2ndary master. Apparently the problem was that anything on the 2ndary master channel doesn't have any option for DMA (Abit th7II mobo/ no raid).
But to sum it all up, enabling DMA made all the difference in the world for my drive. I got over 6x on the last dvd I ripped.

After getting ForceASPI on my WinXP system ripping got slower?? Any ideas?? DMA is still enaebled??

Not sure what your problem is, but here's my experience. I have a ABIT KT7a-raid board. After changing over to Windows XP both my hard drives and my DVD ROM drive weren't performing very well. I have 2 UTA100 7200 RPM drives and a 16X DVD ROM drive. After swapping cables so that everything was on it's own IDE line, The DVD ROM picked up slightly. DMA enabled, but couldn't get the speed up. Finally, I downloaded the latest BIOS for the motherboard and flashed it. I ran SANDRA again, and everything was working great! So, with XP you may need to upgraded your BIOS, but I will leave this up to you. I did it as a last resort.

yes check for DMA enabled in BIOS, DRIVE, & OS

in W2K/XP:

System Properties-> Hardware ->Device Manager -> IDE Controllers -> Primary/Secondar IDE Controller (if connected to onboard IDE) -> Properties -> Advanced Settings: Select Enabled DMA if available.

in 98/ME:

Windows Explorer -> find your drive/DVD ROM, right click -> Properties -> Make sure "DMA" has a check.

Some drives (like older Western Digitials) need there DMA to be turn on through disk utility that usually comes with the drive. So check that as well.

So Bios need there DMA enabled in the Bios for those with onboard ATA 66/100 controllers.
