What makes a DVD rip fast?

Is it the program or the burner?

I have this burner. THIS ONE and it records at real time. I use Nero to burn .... but this is waaayyy too slow .... So do I need a better burner or better software? Seems like it shouldnt take 90 mins to burn a 90 min dvd.

Thanks
 
It is the burner!!!

My much older 16x DVD-rom Liteon 163 rips very fast yet my newer NEC which is a 16x DVD burner rips about 1/2 to 2/3rds as fast....I remember some older Toshiba DVD-rom drives had firmware setting to limit rip speeds....

You will notice that ripping speed is often effected by the DVD itself...dual layer disk rip much slower then older DVDs that were not as common to be dual layer...Also some newer DVDs like Start wars use some newer encyrption/anti copy features and it seems to slow the ripping speeds down...

 
Are you ripping??? which means you are copying the vob files and DVD content from a DVD...you cannot rip a DVD from a HDD cause it is theoretically already ripped...

or

Are you talking about burning DVD content from the HDD???
 
Look in device manager, ide channel, advanced to see if you are using DMA. I have the 3540a (same as yours, except not lead-free), and I burn on 16x single layer media (Verbatum mostly), and only takes 8 min or so to fill with a movie.
 
How fast are your DVD±Rs rated?

Also, as was mentioned, check that your drive in DMA mode not PIO.

But the thing i really want to know is what you are burning...or rather, are you using Nero to encode/re-encode then burn?

If so, that time makes sense for encoding video.

But if it's only burning, then something is wrong. (Unless you are burning your DVDs at 1x maybe 😛)
 
My settings are at DMA. The dvd I am using are 8x. It is just movies I have downloaded that I am burning ....

DVDRs?

Or are you using Nero to convert the XviD/DivXs rips to DVD?

I know, which is why i keep asking.
I find it incredibly difficult trying to help people when they don't answer the question i ask in trying to isolate what the issue could be.

It seems like the OP would have mentioned this already, since they seem knowledgeable, but they still haven't confirmed it, so i am merely trying to narrow down the possibilities...
 
op - so you are creatig a dvd from a avi - this means that your computer needs to convert the avi to mpeg2. you are simply not burning a dvd but encoding it into a different format that is dvd format.

what everybody else on here is talking about is using dvd shrink to rip the dvd to the hdd into a file, then burn it already in the dvd state to a dvd. this is what should take about 8-15mins, not re-encoding
 
Much easier and quicker to hook the PC to the TV and play DiVx from that... Well, maybe not easier but definitely better.
