Can somebody please explain to me why before using only CLONE DVD or DVD Shrink and Decrypter it took only about 20 minutes start to finish to copy a movie and now using DVD FabDecrypter 3 with VobBlanker, DVD Shrink and burning with DVD Decrypter it takes over 2 hrs to encode?

I would appreciate any help here because I am not sure what the prob is. I try DVD Shrink first, and if it doesnt work I use DVD FabDecrypter3.

Thanks Ramaboy

SLOW RIPS,Could be in PIO mode,
READ HERE
Go to
My Computer
Control Panel
System
Hardware
Device Manager
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Open the installed IDE channels (Primary and Secondary)
Click on Advanced settings
You will see the transfer mode. Change it to DMA if available. If any are PIO or stepdown dma you need to un-install the channel (right click on the channel and choose uninstall) and re-boot. Windows will reinstall the device and return it to DMA mode.
Be careful when using this procedure because if you have an older hard drive or storage device that does not support DMA you could corrupt your data.

NOTE IT CAN SAY DMA MODE BUT CAN BE IN PIO MODE

After the Windows IDE/ATAPI Port driver (Atapi.sys) receives a cumulative total of six time-out or cyclical redundancy check (CRC) errors, the driver reduces the communications speed (the transfer mode) from the highest Direct Memory Access (DMA) mode to lower DMA modes in steps. If the driver continues to receive time-out or CRC errors, the driver eventually reduces the transfer mode to the slowest mode (PIO mode)..

What is DMA mode?
DMA (Direct memory access) mode is a high performance mode for transferring data to and from devices, in particular, to CD and DVD burner devices.
The burner devices can function in either DMA or PIO modes. DMA mode allows the processor to transfer large pieces of data with very little software overhead - therefore requiring low CPU utilization. In this mode, high speed burning can be performed in background with other programs running.
PIO mode requires CPU processing for every few bytes sent to the device, so that CPU utilization becomes very high when trying to burn at high speeds.

Sounds like you're having DMA issue. DVDFab Decrypter Should "never" take more than 20 minutes to rip the whole movie. If it takes more than 30 minutes - 1 hr, then you'll need to uninstall your drivers and have Windows reinstall them back for you, that'll get you back to DMA Mode.
