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?
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. Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD 6.1.6.0) MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S 1.60 61120UKMEHA98359382 Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite) Size of first Layer: 2014176 sectors (3933 MBytes) Total size: 4026905 sectors (7865 MBytes) Video DVD (or CD) label: SIMPSONS_SEASON6_DISC3 Media is CSS protected! Video Standard: NTSC Media is locked to region(s): 1! DVD structure appears to be correct. Structural copy protection not found. Bad sector protection not found. 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.

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.

Filter driver for Silicon Image SATALink controllers . . . Hmm. Might be an issue. I'm not sure yet. Used by Roxio Easy Media Creator, WinOnCD 6 This probably isn't an issue, but it might be. Used by Roxio Easy Media Creator, WinOnCD 6, DragtoDisc and DirectCD 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, there are no read errors. But just to confirm that my drive isn't at a regular speed, Nero cd speed was reading at about 3x and I tried another program to make an ISO file and it read at about 2x. Are there normal speeds?
It's possible your burner has some kind of ripspeed lock. If so, it might be possible to disable it, but I'm not really familiar with that burner. Again, 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. And if that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas (other than trying to see what the max ripping speed is of your burner--or trying to see if there is some kind of riplock).
I checked the specs on Sony's website (Vaio laptop) and it said: DVD+R DL Write: 4x max. DVD+R Write: 8x max. DVD+RW Write: 8x max. DVD-R Write: 8x max. DVD-RW Write: 6x max. CD-R Write: 24x max. CD-RW Write: 16x max. DVD±RW: Yes (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/DVD-RAM) CD Read: 24x max. DVD Read: 8x max. DVD-RAM Write: 5x max. DVD-R DL Write: 4x max. DVD-RAM Read: 5x max. I'm doing the CDspeed benchmark now, if the results don't compare I'll get rid of the Roxio software of my computer.
Doesn't matter if they compare or not. cdr4_xp in your filters needs to go, regardless. You're just asking for problems with Directcd or Dragtodisc on your system.
Ok, I removed Roxio. It got rid of the cdr4_xp filter, but now windows can't see my drive... An device manager shows an error, see included image.
Try deleting the drive from device manager and rebooting. You used the uninstaller for the program right (and didn't manually delete files)?
O.k., that's pretty distrubing then. Uninstallers shouldn't create these problems unless they are poorly coded.
