Dear All,

first of all I want to thank the team for a great piece of software - if my problem will be solved one way or the other I will for sure buy the post-beta version!

My first tests with makemky 1.5.6 on my Win XP system were successfull: BD rip speed approx. 2 - 4x (I can't remember exactly, but speed was sufficient). After ripping a few BD's, the speed significantly dropped to 0,3x, i.e. 6 hours for a standard BD rip, just the main movie.
I noticed that on my dual core, one core is relaxing at 10% load, the other one runs amok at >90% load.

Some ideas/questions:
- Driver problem?
- I don't know if the change to makemkv 1.5.8. made a change?
- BD-ROM defect (although most rips are ok from quality point)?
- Background application problem (I already disabled Avira Anti-Vir, without effect)?

Reinstalling just makemkv didn't help.
Before reinstalling Windows and makemkv completely, I'd like to give other suggestions a try...

System data:
Athlon 4850 dual-core at 2,5 GHz
790GX chipset
4GB RAM
LG GGC-H20L BD-ROM
Win XP SP3
No AnyDVD or similar installed.

Thanks for your support!

You can try a linux live distribution, or put it on a flash drive then try linux version of makemkv to rule out hardware issue.

Thanks for the fast answer, but since I do not have any experience with Linux, this will be a timesucking job anyway, even with the guides and help in this forum...
I'll give it a try as soon as I have some hours off from my family.

Not to jack the thread, but I have to say I have the same issue. Everything was groovy until the 1.5.8 update. Now I run at 0.7x and it takes about 4 hours to rip a BD, so something is going on. No DMA issues for me as I'm using SATA. No settings changes between 1.5.6 and 1.5.8. Also running XP Pro SP3 with an LG CH08LS10 drive.

Naw... I think it may be my drive. I put it on my Mac and had the same problem. I'm taking the BD-ROM from my Mac and hooking it to my Win PC in a few minutes.

UPDATE: It's the drive.... crap! I guess it's been too heavily used.

@ setarip_old

Man, you're great! My drive is working at 3,5x speed again, system load dropped to 20%!
I never would have expected PIO-Mode problems with SATA, but that was it.

Thank you all very much for your help!

Happy again,

Rolf
