View Full Version : Ripping speed has tripled

Hello,

I've got a question, not a complaint, far from it.

I've been using DVD2SVCD for some time now.
My average ripping speed has always been around 2200KB/sec, now (for no reason I can think off, no updates, new versions or something) my ripping speed is 6000 to 8000KB/sec.
Is there anybody who knows why this suddenly has changed.
And, more importent, will this have a negative influence on quality.

The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm thinking like digital & analog reading.
You know, you can read a audio-CD in digital or analog mode.
The analog is much faster (you're cd-rom speed, 50x for example), but the digital (digital audio extraction for my cd-rom is 12x) is better.

Tnx

The only time i have had an increase in DVD rip speed was when i installed a new ASPI Layer. I know that you said that no updates were applied but could you of installed a new/diffrent burning program that might have installed a diffrent aspi?


only thing i can think of.

You should check and see if your comp is set to DMA or UDMA. If its set to UDMA that might be what cause the speed indrease. You should use UDMA for all you drives.

I've gotten speed increases when i'd update my via and or sis drivers, and i agree with jason28 and xnakx on their findings as well.

Tnx, I'm not sure what I did.
I have updated my BIOS, could be the reason.

If it doesn't affect quality, OK :)

Tnx for the responses!!

when doing multiple episode DVDs, I noticed that some episodes rip much faster than others on the same disk. I figure it has to do with position (inner outer upper lower).

The other obvious reason could be that the movie you ripped was not encrypted. That does cause speed increases!

If you really want to know if the bios upgrade is the culprit you can check the changelog for the new version or image you applied.

but if speed increases and there is no signs of quality loss i would just let it go and be a little happier.
