    Hi, I have a 16x DVD player but when I'm ripping the VOB's to my hard drive it goes at 2x speeds. I'd like to speed this up, thanks for any help.

    Try turning DMA on for your HDD as well as for your DVD-ROM.

    One option is of course that your HDD is so fragmented that it slows the process -- I have 16x DVD-ROM and get appx. 4-6x ripping speed, but when my HDD is almost full of small files, it slows the process to 2-3x.

    That can't be the case for me. I have recently reformated to put in Windows XP. Also my HD's are 100mbit/sec each. It could easilly handle high speed. I feel I've been sold a DVD that is really 2x but on the box says 16x.

    just a long-shot but do encrypted and non-encrypted DVDs produce the same ripping speed?

    Non-encrypted is slight faster, but as 99.999% of movies include CSS encryption, this really is not an issue when comparing ripping speed.
