ripping speed from 10x to 2x....

[mothman]

I have a HP DVD200i, it used to rip at 2x flucuating then i upgraded the firmware from their website and now i get 6x steady.

[dvd_maniac]

those are awesome ripping speeds. what firmware are you currently running and is that (120s) a burner or player? Also I wonder what you would get on a dvd(5) as they are usually faster given that it is easier to read single layers. Do youo have a dvd5 that is not encrypted? and also not a -r(w)/+r(w)

The 120 is a player only. As to the firmware, it's whatever it was when I bought it - it's unchanged.


Just 4U, I found an unencrypted DVD-5....

Wait for it, wait for it.....

Average 10.6x. Peak 15.1x


That seems to prove your theory nicely. :-)

[dvd_maniac]

Oh wait, this is the very first time I have been right, now I am getting confused, what do I do next.........:scared:

hehe, usually when you open up a recording application it tells you which firmware you have. I would love to know because the speeds you are getting are incredible and I am GOING to buy that drive as soon as I find out if I can get it with the same firmware you have....

It is rated at 16x off-the-shelf. But alas, it appears you only get that from unencrypted DVD-5's around the outer edges.

Maybe we should petition the firmware guys to bring an unlocked one out for this drive.

[dvd_maniac]

When thier is a locked firmware on a drive it is usually a 2x limit. When you get above that thier is little a firmware upgrade will do. But to get peak speeds of 11x on dvd9 is awesome. I only get up to 8.5x with hacked A05.

I'm getting a 'page not found' at the dmafix.exe download link posted by la_Nce01. Is this tool available somewhere else?

[kilm]

Damn i tried both ways and neither worked:

-uninstalling secondary chan ( 2 dvd drives )
-deleting the reg strings manually

i even uninstalled primary chan, nothing :/
the link to the dmadix made by the bored guy ;p is borken ! someone post it again plz.

my pioneer 105 dvd-r burner still damn reading at 2x, peak like 2.2x
my pioneer 106 dvd does a little better at like 3x

this sux, my new burner gona blow up soon with the heat, as it takes 50 min to rip a dvd9 using dvdcrypter.
dvdxcopy 1.5.2 and nero6 show same slow performance.

First I thought it was an aspi problem. anyway still 2x damn it !

[harycover]

can anyone please tell me where to find dmafix.exe posted by la_nce01 ??
or send it to me to harycover@ifrance.com

thanks a lot !

[chet]

yes, I'd like a copy too. the link is broken.

[harycover]

still didn't get it, if anyone get it please repost a fresh link to it, thanks

Sorry to revive this thread, but seems like the best possibility.
New version of dma-fix, GPL'ed

Installer (http://files.hof-vat.com/dmafix/dmafix_inst.exe)
Source code (delphi) & NSIS setup script (http://files.hof-vat.com/dmafix/dmafix-0.1-source.zip)

Note: If you just want to use this tool, you'll just need the installer. Should save you some hassles.

[harycover]

Thanks ! :) i'll try it and feedback you

Anybody ever figure out what does that German Error actually signify?

'Fehler beim Holen der Daten fur "primary"'

DMAfix.exe does not work on my computer--it just spits out this error and then continues as a process in the background without doing anything.

For some reason I have two Primary IDE and two Secondary IDE entries. I have two hard drives sitting on the Primary IDE, a SATA HD on one of the SATA interfaces and a CD-RW as well as a DVD+RW on the secondary IDE. I surmise that the second Primary IDE is for the SATA. What does the second Secondary IDE guy doing there?

Finally, I have 9! (0000 through 0008 plus \Properties) entries in the registry where I am supposed to delete entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\

How do I figure which one to delete? BTW, only 0004 and 0005 have CheckSum Error entries, which simplifies the question...

Thanks

[la_Nce01]

Try to run it as Administrator.

[Cokedealer]

I got the same german error msg and i am running as admin on win2k

[Karovaldas]

I am running administrator as well ... with no luck so far. Had to reinstall the drivers and that fixed the slowdown.

Sry, didn't check back for a while.
Try to delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dmafix2'.
