seadale and all just click on the above http and ye pix will show

 

i give up too small to read

 

Tnx ireland you saved me.

 

enlarge try:

 

hey it worked: notice the current transfer mode down @ the very bottom , not the above boxes although the above boxes need to say dma. my problem was the current transfer mode reverted to pio after numerous read errors. right click the problemed controller & chose unistall. reboot the ps & windows will chage back to dma. sorry to beat a dead horse but i think this is our problem with the 3 hour encoding ect.

 

transcode and burn to see what you came up with . you should be ok now

 

we'll i tried ALL of that--

Uninstalled Dvd Decrypter IMGBurn Shrink and DVDFab

Ran CCleaner---Defraged my Computer

Restarted It, Re'installed my programs, an it even says i have 94% of my C: Drive Freed up but when i started Shrink again it started off fast for like the 3% but now im at 64 percent encoding w/ about an hour left and it's already been going for close to two hours

any more ideas or program suggestions?? at this rate it's averaging me about 6-8 hours to backup a DVD....

 

did you uninstall ide controllers & reboot too?

 

Ok I just uninstalled those drivers, then rebooted and let em come back, so now im about to give it a shot...i'll report back in a few hours!! Still thanks for all the help, i appreciate it alot!

 

finally, i bet you'll have success now...good job.

 

we'll it was pretty much the same, two hours to rip the disk w/ dvd fab to my hard-drive....i'll check out shrink and see how it goes...

 

Altus580 , try a different program and see how it goes

try clonedvd 2 + anydvd theres a free 21 day trial

your drive/burner may be going bad also

 

yeah i guess i'll just give those a shot...cause this stuff is still taking really long, it's really pi$$Ing me off :O oh we'll i'll see what happens!

 

also open up "Task Manager" and see what your CPU Usage is and the PF Usage under the "Performance" tab

or is your system running hot ,check the PS make sure its ok

 

Right now i only got my internet going and it says 164 MB, does that sound about right?

 

yes , that sounds ok

 

sorry man, thought for sure i knew your prob. but was wrong. hopefully you'll get it figured out.

 

It's cool, thanks for all your help still, i guess im gonna try any dvd, w/ clone dvd from sly soft....im going to NY tommorow for about two weeks, but when i try that i'll let ya'll know how it works....thanks again!!

 

I Have been there with same problem! Two major adjustments that I never needed in the past, but have improved speed back to normal range. While using Shrink 3.2 to copy DVD, pause program, right click at bottom of screen next to system tray and select 'Task Manager'. Find Shrink 3.2 and right click on it. Select 'Set Priority' and change from 'Normal' to 'Above Normal'. Exit Task Manager and continue Shrink process.
If Shrink 3.2 is not successful in copying DVD:
Download 'Fix VTS' and 'Ripit4me'. Run Ripit4me first and allow automatic process to use 'Fix VTS' and Shrink. You need double drive space for this process and it does take a lot of time so only use it if Shrink 3.2 fails. Also, you may have trouble using a different hard drive than the one these programs are installed on. As you probably know, you have to setup a temp folder. I have not found a movie I can't backup via these two methods(second method takes me 1 hour- but it works). PS My OS is WinXP... good luck!!

 

have you just started using the external??
because your not gonna transfer that fast using usb and your not gonna like the results if you go from using sata to usb (much slower)


if you want to speed this up move the files to your internal hd then burn the movie then move them back to your external(for storage)
