So I've been having this issue for the last 8 months or so. I start a shrink backup, it seems to hit a decent speed after a few seconds, and then it continously slows down as it rips. It'll start at ~6500K and by the end it's at 1800K. Its a gradual slow down, every few seconds the rate drops 10-20k.
My system is a 2.4 p4, 1.2G ram, C: is a 40G 7200rpm WD, D: is a 120G 7200rpm IBM drive, E: is a sony 16x rom (ddu1612), f: is a pioneer 106.
I had this problem originally with the 106, before I bought the sony rom. I have the cracked 1.07 firmware, didn't help. So I got the sony drive, and it starts faster, but it still slows down to <2000K towards the end. The funny thing is that if I save to c: I get a slightly faster rate than if I save to d:, but still have the slowdown.
This is making me crazy. I've tried all the firmwares, i've turned DMA off and on, defragged many times, and I'm thinking about getting a SATA HDD...maybe its overkill, but I'm running out of ideas. Help???

the sata HDD would probably help some they have them in 32MB Cache now. and its fast!!

could be a few things though , how old is your CPU? and the PC? the CPU may be getting old and tired or it not cooling correctly? have you cleaned your PC out with canned air?
also dvd shrink is very CPU intensive using other transcoders like clonedvd or nero recode 2 would help and are less CPU intensive
you want the DMA on if your in PIO mode thats definitely a problem
