Ripping Speeds

I recently bought LG WH16NS40 and tried ripping a blu-ray disk.

The speeds seems to be locked at 5x which takes 1.5hrs to rip a disk. Is there a setting that I must change to rip at higher speeds?

5x is actually faster than most "rip locked" drives (2x), but getting faster than that will vary with the disk you're ripping. The longer the title you're ripping, the faster it will go as it gets "deeper" into the title, because the data density increases as you move further into the disk.

I've been using LG drives "forever", and I typically see between 2 and 7x, sometimes (rarely) as much as 15x towards the end of a long movie.

Oh thanks! That's interesting. Cause I saw people saying that they have around 15x ripping speeds taking 19 minutes to rip a blu-ray drive.

Mine is hovering around 5.5x right now, ripping some matrix disks.
