On my desktop, when I would use DVD Shrink to encode a movie, during the encoding process, the speed would constantly increase throughout the entire encoding process. It would begin around 2,000 KB/s and near the end of the encoding process be around 7-8k KB/s. For some reason now it just stops when it gets to 2,975 KB/s and won't go any higher.
I just got a new laptop, and ripping movies with DVD Shrink on that constantly increases encoding rate throughout the process like my desktop used to do, but why wont my desktop do it anymore?
Is there some setting I can check/change? Is it some property I chose on my desktop so that it doesn't encode faster than 2,975? Help is appriciated
Hi Slider821
Check all your drive and make sure they are in DMA not PIO. Check the 'current transfer mode' and make sure DMA is listed there.
Here's a guide if needed:

Interesting. I followed that link you posted, both of my drives were set to 'DMA if avaliable" but when I opened up Nero info tool, on my primary dvd drive, it says "DMA off"
Under 'current transfer mode' in device manager this drive will be listed in PIO mode. So uninstall the secondary ide channel and reboot and let windows do its thing.
Check Nero or device manager again and see if the drive is back in DMA mode.
I found a little thing that uninstalled drives no in DMA mode. It successfully did it, windows reinstalled and is now in DMA ultra 2. I dont have any dvd's to test the encoding speed but im sure this was the problem. Thanks for all the help.
