I am a newbie to all this. I am using Anydvd and Dvd Shrink 3.2. I am not getting and errors but it takes a really long time on some of
the movies. Read some of the other threads makes me wonder if I am
doing something wrong for it to take so long. Any suggestions on what to do to speed things up? I am new to this and alot of this is
over my head so make it easy to understand.
Thanks

Don't understand what you mean by 'long'. But you may first check to see if your pc's DMA has been set to on. If not, try do it the following way:

"Setting DMA:

Follow These Steps in WindowsXP
1) Right click the My Computer icon on the desktop and click Properties.
2) Select the Hardware page and click the Device Manager button.
3) Locate the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels, and double click on the one your hard-drive is connected to (usually the Primary IDE Channel).
4) Open the Advanced Settings page on the IDE Channel Properties window that appears.
5) Click the Transfer Mode dropdown box and select "DMA if available".
6) Click on the OK button to confirm the changes.
7) That's it, you've just enabled DMA. Depending on the number of devices you have on your system, it could be useful to do this on the Secondary IDE Controller as well, and to both devices on each of them.

Alternatively, if you find your drive is locked in PIO mode it is simply a matter of uninstalling the appropriate controller in Device Manger by right clicking on it and selecting uninstall and then rebooting a couple of times and it will then have been reset to DMA mode. Most DVD drives are UDMA2 or similar"

Good luck!
