Hi
I have recently rebuilt my media centre and put a new DVD/CDRW RICOH MP9060 into it.
I tried ripping a DVD just now and it said it was going to take over 30 minutes! I tried the same DVD on my normal PC and that said approx 10 minutes.
The DVD drive is on it's own IDE cable and channel. I have swapped IDE cables with the cable the has the OS Disk on it, just in case there was a problem with the cable. The machine boots just the same but the ripping is still very slow. The drive is jumpered as MASTER. Should it be CS?
I have flashed the DVD drive to the latest I could find - 1.90 but it's still very slow.
Have I just choosen a SLOOOOW drive or is there something in the BIOS or within Windows that I have missed? I've checked that DMA support is on for that IDE channel.
Any ideas as I rebuilt this media centre so that it would be easier for me to rip DVDs.
Cheers
Robin
