DvD Ripping Speed

[Mir96TA]

All of sudden my Dvd Ripp Speed become 2.4X
that is also my MAX burn speed too
I was able to rip the DvD at 10-14 X
and Burn at 4X ....... This morning I notice
It would not pass above 2.4X speed any hint ?

did you check the media you are burning on? You can only burn as fast as the Blank media allows you to...

 

[Mir96TA]

I cannot Rip higher then 2.4X
Same DvDr use to burn 4X just fine.
I am talking Burn and Ripp speed; yes both speed

hmm, did you install any new programs recently? try and see if a system restore does the trick...otherwise, maybe someone more experienced can help ya out.

 

[Mir96TA]

No I didn't except few weeks ago I installed the SP2
It was doing just fine
But I have removed it the SP2

Make sure the drive isn't in PIO mode. I recently went from 2k3 to 2k and forgot to check that. Go into device manager, check the properties for the IDE channel of the DVD drive, and look on the advanced settings tab. It should say DMA when available.

My HDD is saying PIO mode (its use to say Mode 5) Its set for DMA mode if its avaiable

 

[Mir96TA]

It was my HDD
I replace the HDD with ST3200822AS
Now its UDMA 5
and ripp speed is back to normal
