what is the fastest DVD-ROM drive to rip dvd?

[Da Man]

i was looking to buy a new DVD drive to rip dvd movie...i have a Sony DRU50A already but i won't use it to rip movie..burn only...I'm using a Toshiba M1212 to rip it...average speed is 4x for original dvds using DVDdecrypter...

Anyone know a faster drive for this? thanks

Most people that I have talked to prefer the Liteon 16x drive.

That site dosn't seem to report which OS's were used in the tests.

The reason I mention this is because I'm never able to rip faster than about 2X using two different DVD drives and two different computers running XP Pro.

I have seen others post the same thing when running XP and suspect XP is a factor.

to leebo,

Three different DVD drives, actually. hey're on two different computers.

Pioneer A-03 and DVD106.
The other is from a company called MadDog, but I don't know the model.

The LTD-165H reads all DVD media(including DVD-RAM)and is ATA66,
LTD-163 is ATA33.
