DVD Ripping Speed dbase

[MaXiMuS]

please post your average dvd ripping speed + dvd drive info
(i want to buy faster dvd rom than i have now) TIA

Hitachi GD-2500 RPC1 (DVDROM) 4x DVDRead/ 24x CDread
Average Smartripper speed 1.3-1.8 (way 2 slow)
firmware can be found here (http://dvdutils.chez.tiscali.fr/firmw_hitachi.htm) :cool:

I never got higher than 2X with my Pioneer DVR-104 drive. I've since purchased a Pioneer DVD-106S ($55 from Hypermicro.com) and it is much faster. Rips are between 4X and 10X. I just use the DVR-104 for burning now.

KEEP IN MIND though that it depends on the disc. I've not done any subjective testing to track the cause (do I really care? :) ) but I've had some rip as slow as 4X and some as high as 10X on the new 106S drive.

I have a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1402 and I can't rip movies as high as 7X to 8X and it usually finishes the rip in about 9 minutes.

[MaXiMuS]

thanks for your replys

i think i will try toshiba

[Debi]

oops, i just noticed i made a typing mistake in my post. Its supposed to say that i can rip as high as 7x. But for some movies, it still doesn't go any higher than 2x.

i use my pioneer 303 scsi rom to ripp films and it usually does them at between 2x and 6x and between 12 and 25 mins, but like a say it depends on the film.:cool:

I have a toshiba sd-m1502, and in smart ripper I can hit 16X...never goes below 10x

Keep in mind, these specifications depend greatly on where the material is located on the disc (inner or outer tracks)

[TRILIGHT]

Yes, it definitely does matter where it's at on the disc. For instance, I recently did "Black Hawk Down". It began at 3.2X at the beginning and maxed at 7X at the outer edge at the end of the first layer. I don't know who claimed 16X and "no lower than 10X" but that has got to be total BS for CSS encrypted material.

[MaXiMuS]

:D
no lower than 10X
:D

Did not sound realistic to me....

Is there any way to increase the speed of a rip without buying a new drive :confused:. My drive seems unwilling to go above 0.8x, whick really is getting annoying.:angry:

[TRILIGHT]

Aside from tweaking your system, it's the only way. If your system is set up correctly then you'll just have to get anothe drive. I always got a 2X max out of the Pioneer DVR-104 burner. I picked up a Pioneer 106S slot-load player and I get between 3.2X and 10X on encrypted media. (Not counting the bursts to 14-16 which no one should really count anyway as it's inaccurate) Anyway, the drive was only $50 which I consider worth it for me not to have to wait around just for the rip.

I'm building a new PC with a LiteOn 16x DVD-Rom, I'll post my ripping speed results Sometime at the begining of this week.

[madcat_ninjamaster]

LiteOn 16x Rom..hmm..I've had this dvd rom for months and there is nothing interesting. The ripping speed for css is 2.x something hardly anything go higher then that speed but for non css, usually boost up to 10x or higher....

[klona]

DVD extract speed is one point but do not forget your Hard drive WRITE speed also...

Also, speed can be less if DVD and HD are on the same IDE connector.

If you are FAT32, fragmented disks can also slow down the process.

[madcat_ninjamaster]

Hey.. I've solve the problem today! I bothered to open up my case and change the cd writer and dvd jump setting which I replace dvd (slave) to master and cd writer (master) to slave. changed both setting to DMA and both of them are be running very solid indeed and the css disc speeding from 2.x to 7 or 9.x pretty impressive.

My computer is pretty new as I built it last few months ago.
I'm not using FAT..probably am but I doubt it since I'm use either windows xp or windows 2000 advanced server.

[UTec]

Yes I agree that it depends on what's on the DVD you're ripping and several other factors. If the drive you rip with is the master drive on the IDE bus, that will make it slightly faster than if it's the slave.

The hard drive is not a factor IMO. Any HD is always much faster than a DVD-ROM reader. The bottleneck is the DVD reader itself.

All those new DVD-Rom drives advertised at 16x... (Sony, Asus, LG, etc) that's pure BS IMO. I looked at some benchmarks on a site made with Nero DVD speed and only one reached 10x (at the edge of the disc, probably just before the layer change). Most never exceed 8x at the top of the curve and some of them, not even that.

The Pioneer A03 and A04 are notoriously slow for ripping, I use my A03 for burning only. I rip with my HP9900 which maxes out at 7x with *on rare occasions* a quick peak at 8x on *some* discs.

Most 16x drives only rip at 8x max... Who knows?.. Maybe it'll take 32x DVD-ROM drives to be truly ripping at 16x max for 5 seconds and at 6-8x for most of the duration of the rip? :rolleyes:

[flaystus]

My Liteon hit 12x on a rip a few weeks ago... usually its between 6 and 10x. but yes it sometimes drops to 2x... still its much better then the ripspeed on the DVR-A04 i was using before.

[drmr_vr]

the fragmentation level of your HDD has a huge impact on the ripping speed. so, defragment before ripping even if you use NTFS.
or use dedicated partition

[twistee]

I have a pioneer 16x and when i first got it, it could go up 12-14x (at the end). But now (after about 1 1/2 years) it stays at 4-7x maybe 8 if im lucky....those were the days when i could rip at those speeds...

I have a Toshiba IDE DVDrom CDRW SD-R1102 Combo drive - 8x8x8x32.

I have done test rips with this drive using from 64Mb ram to 2Gb ram - HDD's were SCSI U160. Speed did not vary by config, just titles.

Average Rip rate was 1.7x to 2.9x (based on 32 titles done in W2K & XPpro - both using NTFS)

Vstrip runs about .1 to .2x faster than smartripper - but that statement is based on only 2 titles... So don't bite my head off if it isn't the same for you. (only decided to rip two titles... twice as I'm after the final product, a clean DivX 5 .avi not random tests.)

marketed as samsung drives and bundled in DELLs.....

Best is 12x consistent.......average for multiple titles is prob 5x consistent. DMA 2. HDD is DMA5 bus MAXTOR 40G by 7200 rpm.
