I was ripping DVD's in about 45 minutes, no it's taking 2.5 hours. Only change on my PC that I can think of is, that I installed Windows service pack 3. I've been using it for a couple years now and never had this problem.
I've read in another topic aboout possibly being out of DMA mode, and being in PIO mode. I looked through the device manager and couldn't find either of these listed.. probably looking in the wrong spot.
I've ran C-Cleaner and Anti Spyware. I have not yet ran anti virus or defrag.
I don't see any processes runnning that are out of the normal.
Here are my PC spec, not the best, but were getting the job done before.
Intel Pentium M
1.6 GHz
80GB HDD
512 MB DDR2
The screenshot that you provided was for your primary idechannel, your disk drives should be on the secondary. What does it show? If it not set to DMA, the links that dialysis1 provided give an excellent description on how to change it.
Also, what ever it is that is on your device1 location in the screenshot appears to have reverted to PIO mode, to which the aforementioned links also describe how to repair. Let us know how it turns out.

I dont see a secondary, at least with advanced settings
SilverR1, i assume you only have one optical drive then right?
1. go ahead and uninstall the IDE controller reboot and let windows reinstall it.
2. do a clean reinstall of dvd shrink, before you reinstall though run CCleaner defrag reboot and then reinstall dvd shrink.
if after doing all that and you still having problems try a different program like nero recode or clonedvd 2 to transcode and see what you're times are.
if that doesn't solve it then you have a hardware problem somewhere,worn out HDD,CPU , memory etc. and it would be time to update to a new machine
