my problem is that the first two dvd's that ripped using smart ripper where really really fast, like i was getttin excellent write speed at like 6 or 8kb/s(maybe even higher). The other day though i accidently deleted smart ripper and had to go get a new one, so i download it and etc........ then when i tried to ripp a dvd ex.) the score it says that it would take me well over a hour to do it, when two weeks ago it would take me 15mins for a movie, does anybody know what i need to do to fix this problem so that i can get my dvd-rom up to a faster speed again?
