Yes, because you always have to copy the Original to harddisk.
You can do that with your DVD writer. Than use DVD2one.
Then copy the files from Harddisk to DVD-r/+r (DVD writer)

PIII, ME, CenDyne, DVDROM, DXC 1.5.2, Nero .10.20, pioneer firmware 1.30

Read a thread re: ripping and it was suggested that a DVD ROM be used for the ripping to HD.
Then burn using the, well umm, burner.
This due to dvd burners being poor/slow rippr's.
I was having trouble with DXC "error reading source" NO MATTER WHAT I DID! until I read the post re: slow at ripping.
After reinstalling the dvd rom along w/ burner...everything is fast and easy now.
Rip w/ ROM burn w/ writer
ps- I'm a Freshman at this and certainly this is most likely just a fix for my situation. ;-)
This forum is VERY helpful!

I just bought my burner; my first DVD drive ever. (Besides on my laptop)

I will be buying a DVD ROM this week, not only for the speed of ripping; but to save wear on my expensive burner.

I used to rip w/ Pioneer 104 but spent £35 on Lite-On 165 (f/w CH11)
It's at least tripled my rip times.
Plus on-the-fly option is a viability : p
