I already have a DVD Burner and Writer and i am thinking of getting another reader because the asus only reads at 2x (Have recently unlocked it through windows to rip at 3.1x)./ Would it be posible to rip and decode three DVD's at once using my burner and two readers and shrink?? My system resources that are used are roughly 1-3% when ripping and decoding 1 dvd, so proving my PC can handle it, then it would be ok, rite??

Blood Type - O pos
1 - If any of the drives being used for ripping share an IDE channel, ALL the drives on that channel will run at the SLOWEST drive's speed - to avoid this, each drive MUST have its own channel
2 - Your chosen ripping software must support multiple instances of itself in memory (no shared memory space, or corrupt rips occur), DVD Decrypter supports this.
3 - Your operating system must support multiple program instances in virtual machine space (Windows 2000 and XP do, earlier versions DO NOT)
4 - You will very quickly come up against a performance bottleneck (Hard Drive I/O, CPU resource, Memory resource) which will result in reduced throughput.
Have a play, as cheezzzz suggests, but from your system specs in your sig, don't expect too much....
My drives are on seperate IDE channels, last nite i got hacked firmware for both of my drives so they read at a 6x average, and i am on win 2k. The only thing is i do not use decrypter, i suppose i could learn!? Do you know if i can do it with DVD Shrink or CloneDVD???
I only use DVD Decrypter and SmartRipper for ripping, I tend to keep away from things like Shrink, that try to do more that one thing - I prefer a toolbox full of specialist tools that I can learn inside-out.
