feel free to call me "stupid" :) *i'm using paid version of dvdfab 6220 on windows vista. i'm also using 2 drives. one to rip - the other to burn with ImgBurn. question: *is there any way to speed up the amount of time it takes Fab to rip the disk? it's currently taking around 25 minutes to rip - then 5 minutes for the burn. thanks for any and all advice.

If it take longer than 8 minutes as an average for fab to rip to your hard drive then there is a problem either with your system or the disc.Is the disc dirty? Scratched? Is your reader in PIO mode?

I guess I should qualify the above time average to say my system is several years old and it takes 8 minutes +- to rip to a hard drive unless there is some scratches or the movie needs more than the usual compression. In the case of scratches or high compression it takes about 15 minutes +-.Burn time is 5 to 6 minutes using Imgburn at 12X

[/QUOTE] i put my original dvd in my laptop. then put my blank in my external burner. i didn't know about PIO mode. how can i look/change my mode?? what should it be? thank you.

also - my disks are not dirty. i usually back up a brand new disk before it gets dirty :)

[QUOTE=Dorrell;23614]also - my disks are not dirty. i usually back up a brand new disk before it gets dirty :)[/QUOTE]You would be surprised how much crud is on a new disc.Rip one and then clean it and rip it again. Chances are the rip time will be less on the freshly cleaned disc.

Laptop........You said a dirty word. Laptop drives are junk with few exceptions.Try using your external to rip and see what happens.Clean the disc first.

tell me more about this PIO mode.how can i see what it is now? or how to change it??

your current 25 minutes to rip time sound about right as it depends on how good a CPU you have to get faster rip times. My computer takes anywhere from 10 minutes to 25 minutes depending on how much compression is needed and I have a 1.89ghz dual core CPU and 4gb memory

Could be how much protection is on the media which will slow down the rips some also but I would go with the PIO first

speed up the rip time

Hi Dorrell,
My last post wasn't directed at you. It was more of a response to the other members recent posts.
Sorry if it seems we've strayed from your problem.

So what's happening now?
Your burn speed and time seem ok, but the burn speed hasn't been a problem if I recall correctly
BTW, you can't bitset -R media, so as long as your using these verbs, it's N/A.

How are your rip speeds?
Has anything made a difference and what have you tried?

I think this thread has become extremely long winded and think it is also time that the OP started doing some figuring for himself instead of the barrage of continual questions.

You guys have put him on the right track. Now it is up to him !!!
