:( New to DVD ripping. Fisrt tries always same problem, speed.
Pc speed at 1.6, hd 40 g free 30
DvdDecrypter figures Size film 6,570,934.
Tranferred data: no more than than 200 KB per counter jump-
Read Rate stars al 1,000 + KB/s(0.7x)but when buffer at 100%
(Buffer set at maximun in DVDDecrypter settings; tranfer length 64kb,
buffer size 127MB) Read rate descends slowly to 100 KB/s(0.1x) or lower and time remaining goes up to 15 to 20 hrs. Before I increased buffer size to maximum Read rate was 20-30 KB7s (0.0x) an dover 50 hrs
ripping time. Any help please ? Jeslis.

You're buffering whilst reading?

You need to sort out DMA on your IDE drives (HDD and DVDROM). The program is currently not able to write to your HDD quick enough.

That 'could' be because PIO mode use 100% cpu when ripping (normally) so they system will be really bogged down.

Could someone explain what r4r is?

it's robot4rip, "Automation tool for DVD ripping/indexing/demuxing".
but i don't think your problem goes away by using it.
if the drive is in dma mode and cables are ok, i'd think about faulty
drive or the drive manufacturer has set the ripping speed veeery low.
have you tried flashing the drive with "unofficial" firmware that removes the ripping cap?

I don't think mine is faulty just slow, not 20+ hours slow. Maybe 30 to 45 mins slow(that might be norm for an older drive. Depending on the size of the dvd. Maybe one hour max.

Didn't know there was such a thing.
Where do you find that? and can it be reversed?

I think that my dvd-rom reads are slow then top of the line.


BTW Lighting: I think mine is buffering while decypting.
Is there and FAQ or guide for sorting out DMA on your IDE drives?

Just delete your ide controller from within Device Manager and then reboot. It should fix any dma issues you're having.
