Hey everyone,

Hopefully this Q has not been asked in a while or at all. I'm having trouble running multiple windows/instances of DVDFab Decrypter at the same time. I'm running version 3.2.0.0; free version.

Is there a workaround? Sometimes I can get a second rip going at the same time as the first, but 3+ instances seems to be impossible. I'd like to make full use of all of my DVD-ROMS and the speed of my SATA-2 HD's.

Any sugg's would be appreciated. I already know that I can run several versions of DVDDecrypter along with DVDFab, but this isn't the most convenient of things.

There is a new BETA out, 4.0.0.0 which may support this.

Best I can think of at present though, sorry >.<

Thanks. This PM I flashed some new firmware to one of my DVD+/-RW drives...now ripping at 10x, whereas before I was lucky to pull at 4x.

What a joke the rip lock is....

I've got an old LiteOn SOHW-1633S. I figured I'd mess around with my crappiest drive because the burn function is totally unreliable with it. It's still a work in progress; currently testing some DL stamped discs right now.

Cool, there are some funky firmwares out there for that drive ;-)

Let me know how you get on :)

The drive you use will determine your maximum rip speed as well as how well it can read damaged or corrupted discs. I still use a Plextor PX-712 for all my ripping.

DVDFab 4.0.0.0 runs well on Linux with 10-15 minute ripping times the same as or better than with Windows XP

Wolf,

Have you tried to open multiple runs of DVDFab 4 at once?

I didn't realize that error messages would increase so substantially with the new firmware (with rip caps removed). There is a very fine line between ridiculously fast ripping speed and ridiculously frequent error messages from a not-so-new DVD9 using Fab3.x. The ridiculousness seems to even out by setting the max rip speed around 8x or 12x.

what are your computer specs it would take an extremely fast machine to do what you want. I prefer quality over speed anyday!

AMD 939 4000+ 2.20 GHz CPU
4 Gigs PC3200 RAM
SATA v.2 HD's
MSI MB

I'm back to a stable OC of 2.8 GHz with aggressive memory timings, and I'm awaiting the arrival of an ATI X1950 Pro. Other than that, I've got an external LD DVD+/-RW (USB 2.0) and EIDE Pioneer and LiteOn DVDRW's.

I'm not even scratching the surface of my available CPU clock power running 2 DVDFab windows at once.

Your problem has more to do with the data transfer speed between your DVD dives and hard drives especially the USB drive.

True. I was thinking about adding an SATA DVDRW drive (I think Plextor makes them).

Funny as it may be, but my external USB 2.0 drive is the fastest of the bunch. LOL!!!
