just got my toshiba from onvia...... dvd playback is alright.. although i dont have a retail copy of and software.. so i can only watch 5mins of video then its over...
but i tried ripping with audiocatilyst and i'm getting about the same speed as my plextor burner... did i buy the wrong drive for ripping??.. i wanna watch dvds sometimes but i wanna rip fast too... what drives should i look at?

8-10X is about as good as it gets. What OS are you running?

I have a Kenwood TrueX 72X that rips at 12X across the disk. This is petty slow for the drive but I think it is related to poor ASPI support in Win2K.
