[b]DVD Decrypter with Brakes??[/b]

[sjtpepper]

Hi Guys, (not sexually descriminatively aimed)
I have been using dvd decrypter for some time now, with a good degree of success and some speeds attaining 15.5x. But, today, it has decided that it was only going to reach 2.2x max. Any ideas why? I am using the latest version and have several other versions. I took out 3.1.6.0 and installed 3.1.9.0 No change. I have tried using my rom drive (pioneer) and writing drive (nec 2500) No different.

Any help would be appreciated
System:- athlon 2ghz 512 ddr 333mhz XP pro.

cheers,
sjtpepper

Nice attempt at bolding your subject line
No idea on DVD Decryptor though but I use the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' method

If your source is scratched or etc. DVD Decrypter slows down, but... it realy reads it!

I had some problems with a DVD which doesn't works on my standalone player - very bad! But DVD Decrypter copied it to HDD (very slow, but with no errors). Big advantage of the program.

Try with other source!

In addition to the above problem i have, i might add that the "time remaining" clock is flying up and down. I just started to decrypt "Bodyguard" which usually decrypts in under 5 mins, it is now telling me basically to come back tomorrow!!!
There is no strain on the processor, and space is not a problem.
Any Idea???

thanks

I had a problem with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink (ripping, analyzing, encoding) and tried DVD X Copy, which also had problems, where they all would take about 2x as long as they had previously. System Restore to a few days back fixed it.

Sounds like it got kicked back to PIO mode. Uninstall in Device Manager the IDE channel the drive is on, re-boot, Windows will re-install and all should be good.

I owe you a drink buddy!!
Success was mine after i removed the eide drivers and re-booted (twice) it then reached the dizzy heights of 11.9x and ripped bodyguard in 6 mins.

Why would the drivers become defective? and how would i know if i am in PIO mode or not? both my dvd drives are set to DMA.

thanks.

XP has a tendency to do that, sometimes when adding a new program or just on its own. I use Windows Server 2003 so I'm not sure why but if it happens again, you now know how to fix it.

Coors Light, BTW.
