Slow ripping speed with nec nd-1100a

[kernal_panic]

i have a cendyne packaged nd-1100a and dvd decrypter 3.1.6.0. i seem to get really slow dvd ripping speed out of it. i had a hitachi 8x dvd rom that would rip up to 7.7x back in the day.

my current system is:
shuttle xpc ss51g
2.0 p4 oc'ed 2.4
512 meg ddr
80 gig 7200 rpm maxtor
40 gig 5400 rpm maxtor
windows xp pro
nec nd-1100a firmware 1.A0

at best all i get is 4.4x out of it in ripping speed. am i doing something wrong?

ah didn't know that. i'm new to the dvdr scene. been rippin dvds since 1999 but this is the 1st time i've had a writer.

Most of the writers ar locked at 2x. I use a LiteON DVD drive for ripping.

Hrrm......that makes me wonder if there's a firmware hack that will let my DRU500AX rip faster than 2x...........
