Stuck at 2Xspeed when ripping DVD

[copiador]

I followed all the recommended steps from the sticky tips. Here is my configuration on WinXP Pro:

- Sony DRU510A as secondary master. Liteon 54426S as secondary slave
- at BIOS, changed the secondary IDE (master and slave from AUTO to UDMA100). Mobo has VIA KT266A chipset
- Device Manager shows Seconday IDE Channel on UDMA if available and using Ultra DMA Mode 2.
- loaded latest ASPI driver (4.72a)
- Sony DVD drive has latest firmware (1.1a)

After all these steps, when using DVD decryptor or SmartRipper, the ripping speed is around 2X. With DVD decyptor, I changed in Tools/Settings/Device tab/Options to Read at Max Speed. And it still reads at 2X.

Any ideas??

Sony offers a drive tool "DSS4DRU.exe" that will speed the reads of your drive up. I didnt read any previous posts so I dont know if you tried this yet. In overdrive mode you can rip dvds much faster.

try it out maybe it can help

do you have a dvd rom drive? One idea would be to use that so you don't burn out your more expensive burner doing rips, which the burner isn't that good at anyway.

you need a hacked firmware.....
is not about the configuration,

I will try the DSS4DRU. Strange that other people got high ripping speed without using extra software.

Before I bought the Sony DVD burner I used Creative DVD-ROM 12X. Even this drive reads at 2X when using SmartRipper. That was 2 years ago. It was the same mobo, bios version, but with win98se.

Very strange

use the tool sony provides for the dru510a. my dru510a always rips at 2x.

Nearly ALL DVD burners rip CSS encrypted media @ 2x. The only workaround for this would be to use a hacked firmware (or a small utility like someone posted before).

That is BS.

The burner does not go through any more strain by ripping than burning a disc. Dave, I suggest you study up more on computers, before you make stupid statements like that.

You can use the burner to rip and burn.

hey gitreel -

well at least you're living up to your reputation

anyway, all I was really saying is that most burners don't seem to rip that well and I don't think I've seen that much on getting them to run quicker - maybe firmware hack as per above or maybe it's something else that can't be hacked, I don't know.

If you've got a dvdrom, it just makes sense to rip w/ that..any burner's got a certain # of hours until it fails..maybe none of us will ever get there but if you're doing tons of ripping, you'll get there sooner.

Yep, bought me a lite -on DVD rom, as they were rumoured to not have this problem / restriction. I now happily rip at 6.5 to 7x all the time. A pretty good $50 investment if I do say so myself.

I assume you're referring to the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rating often seen in drive specs. Think the 510A had a very high rating if I remember correctly (~100,000 hours?). Of course, mileage will vary.

However, I never could get mine to rip any faster than 2x when I tried. So I do all my rips using a Sony 1611 reader flashed to RPC1. Fastest I've ever seen it go was 15.2x when ripping DVD5's w/ DVDDecrypter.

Try the Pattin Couffin device drivers. You may get a speed increase.
http://www.mtc-comp.com/vso/patin-couffin_setup.exe

Install them then >
In the settings of DVDdecrypter > I/O tab
select Pattin Couffin.

My rip speed in increased about 4x with these.

You could move the burner onto the primary ide cable and make it the slave on the cable. When I did this, not only did my burn speed increase, but my ripping speed increased as well. I can rip at about 8x and finally burn at 8x.
