How can i tell what speed my NEC-3500A dvd burner is ripping dvd's at?

?

I think DVDShrink has a speed display, if not try DVDDecypter, or just guess from looking at the size of the DVD in Properties.

It shows me the Rate: Currently 4,106 KB/s

Its speeding up now, 4,600 KB/s

I just installed a new firmware on it to get rid of the riplock and wanted to see if there was a difference... Not as fast as i had hoped, but better... 🙂

Any idea what that translates to? 4x? 6x?

Cool, will it work while im already ripping a dvd? Its up to almost 6,000 now.

Nope, I almost never rip a DVD (just backed up a couple of my out of print anime discs) so I learn it then promptly forget.

Oh well, consider this a bump to find someone who's done the math 🙂

1x is about 1.4MB/sec, IIRC, so you're doing about 3.3x.*

* Unlike CD's, DVDs are VBR, with 1x being the highest rate it needs to hit to do the full quality under the DVD standard. You're likely ripping the movie at better than 3.3 times real time, even though the data rate is only 3.3x

1/1.4 = x/6.2

1.4x = 6.2
6.2/1.4 = 4.43

x= 4.43x 🙂

Yes, NEC 3500A is very slow at ripping. Get either the AOpen 1648 / AAP or Lite-On 167T.

Well it gets up to about 6.5x on a dual layer dvd, which from what i hear isnt all too bad. Havent tried a single layer yet.
