Slow?

[DVDspin]

I'm trying to back up a DVD with CloneDVD/AnyDVD and it seems to be going quite slowly(About 80 min). Is this my drive or is that a regular speed?

1. Please ensure dma is enabled for your drives

2. Answer 5, 6, 7, and 8 please

5. My drive is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-850S. Not sure which firmware. I'm running Vista home premium.
6. I should have mentioned it, but this is just the ripping stage, not burning yet.
7. N/A
8.

As for DMA, I'm not sure. Where should I look in the device manager? I checked but couldn't see any IDE channels. See the attached image.

Matshita drives are Panasonic (OEM) drives and tend to be cheap junk, which is why laptop companies and oem builders love them (because the drives don't cost much). They also suffer from region coding issues: visit here

If the disc you are attempting to rip is, in some manner, damaged that will also increase ripping time required.

Ok, on both of the "ATA channel 0" entries DMA is enabled.

Well again, if the original disc is damaged in some manner ripping is going to take awhile or may not work at all.

Download Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. Select the tab labeled "scandisc". Select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your disc is bad and needs to be exchanged--even if it plays fine.

Also do step 4 from here

Matshita drives in general though should be avoided (just an fyi in the future). I hate troubleshooting issues with them, because half the time the issue is with the drive.

OK here are the filters.

Hmm. Might be an issue. I'm not sure yet.

This probably isn't an issue, but it might be.

Cdr4_xp is really bad news and needs to go.


1. Uninstall dragtodisc or directcd. Don't use packet writing software. If you want that type of functionality use dvd-ram instead.

2. If uninstalling didn't remove cdr4_xp from your filters, figure out what did install it, and uninstall that program. Reboot. Ensure cdr4_xp is no longer listed in your filters and try ripping again.

3. Download Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. Select the tab labeled "scandisc". Select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your disc is bad and needs to be exchanged--even if it plays fine.

If Nero cd-dvd speed is reporting read errors there's no point troubleshooting this issue.

Ok, I'm doing the scan now. I should be doing this with AnyDVD enabled right?
