Try setting the VOB file access to [AUTO].

Perhaps an Advanced SCSI Programming Interface (ASPI) layer will help you.

Adaptec has them, so does nero.

yea getting ASPI Layers and maybe new Driver for your Drive may speed it up and may ia sk wat brand is it???? if its a tosiba well u have to face the facts tosibas are no good

I got a Toshiba 1402 DVD drive about a year ago...I bought it because I heard it worked well as a reading drive with many burning programs ...anyway, when I would use it with SmartRipper, it would never go over 2x even though it is a 12x drive...I was informed by someone that Toshiba intentionally imposed a limit on this and other of their DVD drives to make it harder to Rip DVDs...however, at some point, something happened and I can now Rip with SmartRipper at up to full speed...always takes about 10 mins to rip a movie as opposed to about 45 mins at 2x...I am slightly baffled, I don't know what happened but I'm not going to complain...and it still has the benefit that Toshiba is known for of reading disks that other drives have a hard time with...

...try latest firmware, make sure you have UDMA enabled...

...now I want to know if there is a way to get around my Pioneer ripping at only 2X...

a Pioneer haveing problems ripping???? i cant believe it but pople get problem i suggest u do the same as what u suggest cue i never knew a single person who had a problem with pioneer

thanks for the input,the setting of SmartRipper has the vob setting in "auto"have been in auto since I started using...I also have the normal and aspi choices,I will try with those later...I have Creative dvd drive.
Doesn't take too lonk but I want to take advantage of the 16x..
thanks again.

Here is fact no DVD Drive in the world ( publicly sold in stores) can rip at thee MAX Read speed they can how ever reach a speed dat is close to dat believe me i have a 16x Pioneer and it went up to 12x and my Samsung 12x reached to 10x so it very good ripping speed...im telling u this becuase i dont want u ask the forum how come my dvd drive anit ripping at 16x, etc.

I am not going to ask that,but in case somebody ask that question ever,don't take it so personal,or just don't answer,you know?? take it easy...relax,,,,go to the park,,,,read the bible,,,,or take one pill of tylenol PM and relax....or just click "back" on your browser


ji ji,,,just kidding

but you know what?? I am kinda serious,,,,just don't worry if somebody ask that,okay?

Sorry guy, I do have ASPI drivers installed on our 2k and XP machines. I don't know where to find them seperately, but if you go to a game system emulation site, look for: ePSXe_setup.exe It's a Playstation Emulator that contains ASPI drivers. They seem to work fine.

The funny thing is when I use the ASPI VOB file access I only get 1x-2x, when I set it to AUTO it could jump to 8x or 9x for a limited amount of time.

Do you have DMA enabled?

Yo guy i didnt mean in a bad way min....i was just telling u

Yeah my pioneer 16x is going real slow as well :-?

[Rigo]

well,looks like we don't have any answer for that 1x or 3 x when we are using a 16x dvd drive....I change the setting in SmartRipper but is worse,,,I have my dvd set to dma....Is not that bad anyway,but 8x would be really good ah?
