Those drives are locked from the factory..

There are however a couple of things you can do to make the Plextors read faster

To manually enable SpeedRead and speed up DVD playback:
1. Ensure the PX-708A disc tray is closed and empty.
2. Press and hold the PX-708A's eject button for at least 3 seconds. The
LED indicator blinks green three times to indicate SpeedRead will
be active for DVD-Video discs with CSS copy protection.
3. Release the eject button. The disc tray opens.
4. Insert a DVD-Video disc that is equipped with CSS copy protection.
5. Begin playing the disc

Second you can get PlexTools which offer you a little more options for your plextor drive http://www.plextools.com/

Cheers

You really should be ripping with DVD Decrypter. DVD Decrypter has an option to "Enable SpeedRead DVD" for Plextor drives.

and with the newest firmware the PX716 is in DMA 4 mode as opposed to DMA 2 which DVD ROMS and other burners are in.

With DVD Decrypter my 716 rips faster than my liteon 167.

apic,

also make sure your firmware is up to date. current firmware for PX 716 is 108.

Also check the DMA settings ... make sure it reads DMA 4 mode.
