Vista 5600 + DVD Decrypter = Slow

[ratz34]

I'm trying out the windows vista RC1 and have come across a problem with DVD Decrypter, and that is, it's very slow.

Decrypter will only rip up to 1.8x and does not seam to be buffering during rips. Ripping is also very spur attic. it sems like it cant maintain a continuous rip.

I have Vista and XP on a dull boot. When in XP decrypter works fine. So for me this seams to be an Vista unique problem.

settings are

Pioneer DVR-108 w/unlocked firmware (cant remember which version)

Interface - SPTI - Microsoft
Transfer Length - Auto
Buffer Size - 20 mb
Set Read Speed - Max
Enable SpeedRead DVD - True

everything is set to the default Decrypter settings.


Could this be due to the new security settings in vista; not allowing software to control devices. Or even starforce drivers. (which should not be on my pc as of clean install)

You touched upon a known bug. We expect to get a post-rc1 build in quite soon, that should fix this.

To be on the safe side, file a bug at MS.

Then i shall hope for the best of post Vista RC1 releases.

Thank you for your reply.

DVD Decrypter ripped a DVD on my Plextor PX-712SA (Serial ATA drive) at about 8x average. I was using Vista RC1 (5600) so it might have something to do with your drive.

I was just using DVD Decrypter's default settings.

Might it be because your drive is RPC-1 patched since i know Vista was not supposed to support those?

I think it may have been the dvd i was using. I changed disk and tried again a few days later, and i got my norimal 12x rip speed again.

Is significantly faster on this area.
