Doesn't anyone use the guides before posting "how-to" questions?

Hello all. Great site and what a wonderful resource. To those of you that answer questions, post guides and help us newbies out, I tip my hat and thank you.
I am a computer novice and have been burning for about two years, first using the ripoff DVD Cloner programs with initial to dwindling successes and more recently with AnyDVD and CloneDVD with great succes. My burn's have always taken about 1.5 hours and this is still the case even though I have a better drive in place and different software.
After researching the site, I found out that the settings for my drive were locked in PIO mode instead of DMA. I followed guides on changing PIO to DMA and reinstalling the dvd drive and a host of other things, including jumping into the registry which I can asure you I am not qualified to do, but a rip and burn on my internal matshita uj-846S still takes between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. The secondary channel, lower box device says that PIO is the only mode available.
I've turned off norton, firewalls, the internet all to no avail - nothing has helped to solve the problem. My computer is spyware and adware free and i regularly update on windows update.
Specs: windows xp pro service pack 2; 80GB HDD (50 free); matshita uj- 846S; AnyDVD in the background; clone dvd 2.
I would appreciate any feedback one of you Gurus of DVD burning could give or directions to a guide of some sort.
My computer company finally sent me a replacement for there earlier drive 2 months later - hence why I purchased the useless UJ-846S that I want help with - a Matshita UJ-840D and it works great and shows up in DMA mode. However, I still want to use the other drive because it's new and supposed to be an improvement on the other drives. As soon as I swap the twi I have, the performance degrades. I thought these components were automatically recognized by Windows. The tech guy at the store where I purchased my new and apparently worthless drive said that there is nothing wrong with the drive, it has to do with windows. I'm not languishing here but I should have two working drives and it tees me off to feel short changed but whatever, maybe now i'm venting.
Anyhoo, any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks

Ill like to apalogize now if these questions have already been asked but...I got an iPod video and Im trying to find the right way to burn my dvds to the right format onto my computer. I have the program DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0, but it writes my videos onto the computer as a .VOB format. Does anyone know how to convert this or maybe change the settings on the program. Im primitive with this stuff so sorry if I sound dumb, so if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it

If repeat questions bother you that much, you need to get a life.

There are a lot of us who want to learn how to do things but don't know enough to be able to do a search to find the correct information. If you don't know the proper terms and you're not sure how to ask you could be here forever looking for the information. Most forums are very helpful and if you ask something that has already been asked hundreds of times and they don't feel like going over all of that info again they point you in the right direction without discouraging you from asking.
I have read and re-read some of the post that are suppose to be instructions and it was all Greek to me. I was happy that I was able to get help from people who didn't mind and seemed very willing to share their knowledge in a language I could understand. We're not all computer swavy like some of you are.
I appreciate every bit of help I've been able to get from these forums and without being put down because of asking.
I have recommended this site to numberous friends and people I've met online and they've been able to get the answeres to most of their questions too.
Keep up the good work and keep this going so we know where to get help with all of this 'Greek' stuff.
Thanks again. Linda

Most of don't mind answering the repetative questions Linda, I don't mind so ask away and ignore the ones who give out a hard time. Welcome to AD, have a good time.

Thanks. I do have a questions that has been asked thousands of times and I do apologize for asking 'again'.
I have been reading as much as possible about the software to 'copy' DVD's. I'm pretty sure most of the posts are opinions from users but they seem to disagree as to which software is the overall best. I'd like to know if there is any way to actualy tell which software is the best, easiest and does the complete job without having to have several different programs. I have looked at many advertisements for products which hasn't helped me make a decision. They seem to all boast about their product, which they have to do to sell it. I've looked at some comparison guides but they're probably prepared by the companies who make the product listed as #1. I know there are lots of people who have had to buy many different programs in order to find the right one for them. I'm trying to avoid this as my husband and I are in our 60's and live on a fixed income. I don't have the means to buy several different products. The one I buy has to do the job. If anyone knows of a 'GOOD' program that is easy to use, can copy 'ANY and ALL' DVD's store bought or home made please let me know. I've started to place an order a couple of times and then changed my mind because I was so confused.
I'm sorry I find this so difficult but I've read about a program that is a copy of another program that was rated very high and then this company stole the name and was selling their inferior product under the same name. I thought I understood which product that was so I could avoid this deception but then the product name got confusing once I got to the sites where I was going to place an order from.
Give me some help chosing a good program please. Thanks in advance.

I agree that the combo of AnyDVD/CloneDVD2 from Slysoft is the best paid suite... If it's free that you want, look into RipIt4Me's front-end integration of truly revolutionary freeware.

I thank you for the information on the free program RipIt4Me. I did go to their site and tried to download the program. Right off the bat I ran into problems because it asked me for a 'path'. I don't know how to do all of that. If it doesn't do it automatically then I can't do it. I also went to their forum to see if there was information on this. Oh my gosh, thair forum is so hard to read. I decided that I would probably be better off with buying the programs needed to do this. I am not very good with knowing where to put things that need paths or how to go about it so maybe the programs I have to buy will self install.
I do thank you for that information though.

I sure did DDP, I uninstalled the drivers and rebooted so that Windows could locate the drive itself and it still comes up in PIO mode. The vendor of the drive said that it may be a windows problem and that I should seek level 2 tech support - whatever that is. I've even followd a few guides that said to make changes to the registry with no avail...i would love to arrange a time to walk through this with you or anyone that may be able to help.
thanks again,

Is there any guide for the complete beginner with copying dvds? All the guides I've seen are talking about stuff I don't understand.
Thanks

Thanks Locoeng it worked a treat, I did it your way, then also did it using MagicISO and ImgBurn, you way is better once I get it in my head ok, I have Nero Premium, but was never able able to use it to it's full potential.
I am now wanting to know how to open a software program in a BIN formatt, It doesn't seem to be happening for me like it did for the movie file, any more guides I should have?
