How to slow down rip speed

[bcsman]

I know most everyone wants to rip DVD's faster. I've got a problem ripping a Soprano's Season 4 Disk 4 disk. I locks up every time at a certain point with I/O errors. I've tried as many different ripping programs as I can find, but no success. VOB Blanker read all the way thru it, but of course I found out it must be unencrypted first to work, so all I got was garble. I thought maybe if I could slow down and lock the rip speed to 2X or something it may read thru it, at least worth a try. I remember reading somewhere there is a way to do this but don't know where I saw it. Anyone help me out please and thank you!!

I have a BenQ 1620 and Lite-On 167T if that matters!!

You can try Nero DriveSpeed to limit DVD-ROM read speed:

Krismen,
Thanks a bunch for the info. Downloaded Drivespeed 3.0 and was able to slow my ripping speed down to 2X. With the slow down, it was able to FINALLY read thru the bad spot. This has been a 2 week stuggle trying every ripping program I could get my hands on with the same result. It just needed to slow down to read the bad part I guess!! Thanks again!!
