Yeah, ditto, i too use my lg dvd rom for ripping and my pioneer a06 for burning, i get about 8.5-9.5MB/sec transfer, if uncompressed in about 14 minutes max.

Compressing it usually doubles the time, @30% w/out deep analysis it takes about 25 minutes max, but i don't compress the movies overly much or at all with shrink, maybe a 10% compress at most, even tho people tell me dvd decryptor etc are better for smaller compressions, use shrink for big compressions.

HI guys, About the long times with DVDshrink. Just read that there is a slight problem between the new DVDshrink and Nero when the auto burn feature is used. They think the problem is with Nero and they are suppose to fix it in the next Nero update. They suggest un-checking the Auto burn box until the problem is fixed. Just thought I'd pass that on. It should help the slower systems work faster.

I was wondering about the encoding times times like the rest of you. It takes me over an hour to rip a DVD using a 16x DVD Rom. I'm running a P4 2.7 533fsb with a gig of DDR 333 mhz memory. 2 hours for a movie to rip and burn is about average for me. this is with shrink 3.1 when using Decrpypter the ripping time is about 20-30 minutes. When I use shrink 3.1 I also use the authoring settings so I'm not compressing the movie. Just burning the movie and leaving the nonsense out. Any thoughts to this? Thanks folks

Hi guys, just because your dvd rom says its a 16X doesn't mean you are getting that speed. Check your rip speed with dvdinfopro or Nero speed check. My burner says it is a 16x reader. Howerver rip speed was locked at 2x by the firmware. It took 1.5 to 2 hrs for a complete backup. I re-flashed the firmware, now I get 15-20 minute rip and 30-45 burn on 2x media. Processor is only a 1.3 gig.

the DMA is on, as for firmware, where would I find that out. It's a no name DVD Rom that came with the computer, I haven't found any new drivers?

Download this little program. It will tell lots of good information about your drive, and about and media you put in to it.
http://www.dvdinfopro.com/
It will show who made your drive and firmware version.
