normal ripping speed? your comparisons plz!

[weak]

i'm using smartripper to decrypt dvds.
no matter if i use aspi reading or normal reading, i cant get above 1.4x speed (aprox. 1920k/s). that's with my dvd-rom. my dvd-rw is a bit slower.
harddisk is ata100.

is this realy normal?

anyone plz?

Hi there, I use DVDx 2.0 to rip and encode DVD's I have at home. My setup is 1.8ghz Athlon XP, 512 DDR and 40gb ATA 100 HDD.

Using DVDx to carry out it's work is usually on average double the time to do it's job. So if the movie is 2hrs long it takes 4hrs to complete everything. Then a few minutes to burn with Nero.

Weak, have you checked to make sure that DMA is enabled for your DVD-ROM drive? That makes a HUGE difference.

thx!

the fuckin dma was disabled for the secondary IDE channel.
i just wonder why the master drive was slow too. maybe the burner can't do better.

the speed is 4x now. pretty fine

I am also using smart ripper and only getting 1.6 and my dma is on, any ideas how I can speed this up?

In CMOS, make sure PCI 2.1 is enabled and set PCI Latency to as
low as will work on your system. Also, a 80 pin UDMA cable can help
as will keeping your dvd rom on ide-channel 2 (away from the hard
drive)


With cmos tweaks I achieve
an average of 14.8x rip speed under smartripper or decrypt.

1gig cpu
7100 hdd
samsung 16x DVD rom

nope no luck although I don't know where to find the pci latency settings.
