Ripping, DVD speed sucks

[Oni-Chaos]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me out? my dvd drive is ripping the dvds hella slow and was wondering how I can fix it. I did it once along time ago so it would ripp at 10 speed but i forgot how. any of you know? its ripping them at 0.65 speed and I just cant stand the wait any longer. I have a dvd-115 drive. thanks in advanced if you can help me out.

by the way I am using smart ripper to ripp the dvd. thanks again

what OS?? Set Smartripper to use Aspi . You might also (If you have win2k or XP) need to install Forceaspi to add an Aspi layer.
I am Using Win2k and a Pioneer 114 and I get speeds of 6x-7x (using ASPI)

thanks man. I am on windows xp by the way.

hi, i have another suggestion if you don't have aspi correctly installed on your computer. I'm using Win98SE with aspi not correctly installed but i usually just copy the folder 'Video_TS' from the dvd onto my hard drive and then use smartripper to select the Video_TS folder and then rip it. I usually get over 10X speeds and i usually just wait about 7 minutes for the copying of the folder onto my hard drive.

Make sure DMA is enabled for the IDE port your DvD rom is installed on.

hey Executioner how do you do that? I think thats what I did last time and it worked alot faster. thanks for remembering me on that. I just forgot where it was.

You can use Nero DVDspeed to test your dvd-rom speed. If it is slow then you should get a new one.
