Slow Ripping Speed! Please Read!

[biggantdogg]

Here's my problem...
Movies won't rip faster than 1.8 - 1.9x

Here's my specs...
Sony 16X DVD
2.4Ghz Intel P4
512 DDR PC2100 Ram
SmartRipper w/ adaptec ASPI from tools section
28gb ATA 100 western digital 7200rpm
DMA/Ultra DMA on
Tried everything in Bios....

Am I missing anything?

What OS are you using? If it's XP,that's probably your problem.

what are you using to rip the dvd?

He's using Smart Ripper, but without the OS, it's hard to give advice.

Its safe to ASSume that he's using XP, Note his CPU w/ P4 !!
else, w2k

Their "computer details" indicate W2K.

whats up man? if you're running XP than trying going to RUN: Msconfig
go to the STARTUP tab and uncheck all the unnecessary things that don't need to load. If you don't know what not to load then go to google and do a search. Then, after thats done, go to RUN: Services.msc
Unload all services that don't need to run, including IMAPI CD Burning. Once again, if you're unsure what services don't need to be run at startup try searching a google. This all will also make your computer run much faster. Apologies if you've already done all this already, it is unclear what you have and haven't done. Oh yea, make sure your jumpers are set correctly on the back of your HDD, DVD-ROM, etc. Re-install ForceASPI from doom9.org. Theres a nice little program called enditall I believe. It'll shut down anything running, or something like that. you can always try that. Oh yea, and try using another ripper, later

one other thing, while you should do your tweak your startup and services menu, you should first try updating the firmware for your DVD-Rom. that usually takes care of it

Thanks guys.
I fixed my problem. I use Windows2000.
My bios was set for DMA, but I had to set it to DMA in my device manager.
Thanks Everyone!!
