Do you mean the time it takes to rip dvds increased to more than 2 hours?

If that is what you mean, it could mean your drive is failing.

Check your DMA status. Change it from PIO to Ultra DMA and reboot.

If, as suggested by "blutach", your drive has reverted to the very much slower PIO mode (usually the result of 6 cumulative errors), a more certain way of re-establishing the DMA mode is as follows:

In the Device Manager (via the Control Panel>>System>>Hardware>>Device Manager), you simply have to remove the applicable IDE channel (Click on "IDE...Controllers") and let your computer reset it to DMA as follows:
Right click on the pertinent channel in Device Manager
Click on uninstall
Reboot
After rebooting go back to Device Manager and change the setting to "DMA if available"...
