LG 4161 DVD burner slow read speed problem

[Peter_OZ]

Folks,
I have only just started on this road of playing with DVD copying etc.

I have a external USB LG 4161 using DVDf3free for de-cryption and dvdwizard pro, 1clickdvdcopy for s/w.

ok have managed to copy a DVD and burn it on to disk - as a back up copy of course
The LG though only seems to be reading at <2x speed and took over 4 hours to copy a DVD.
I've checked in the hardware setting and alt IDE DMA channel is set correctly (not pio).

I've read that it may be locked in "quiet mode" and that I nead a patch to be able to fix this.

Any ideas on this? Or am I just doing something very basicaly wrong?

appreciate any assistance.

cheers
Peter

check the above link for a patch for your drive to overcome the 2x speed lock.

what backup software are you using? DVD SHRINK? DVD DECRYPTER?

budz,
many thanks

no not using any of those packages. they any good?

Have the ultimate backup destination though - 360GB HDD on our office server and I'm the only user at the moment so mine, mine, mine the precious!

cheers
