Extremely Slow CD Ripping

[sutjahjo]

CD Ripper has always been very fast. The ripping process is now dead slow, one CD can take more than 2 hours (sometimes won't complete for hours), I haven't changed any setting.

Using Windows 10 (with latest updates), both ASUS and Pioneer CD drives have the same slow problem. Laptop is ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX582.

Any help appreciated.

Set the encoder to 'Test Conversion' and ripping mode to Burst, if still slow then is your cd drive.

Re: Extremely Slow CD Ripping

Ripping mode is already at "Burst", need help as I can't find the "Test Conversion" at Encoder (see screen grab).

Personally, I don't think it is my 2 CD drives as both work very fast with EAC (I still prefer to use your CD Ripper if possible)

"Test Conversion" is an encoder like mp3, flac etc. pp. Look for "Test Conversion" in the selection box of at "Rip to".

Have the same problem. Bought a brandnew pc yesterday with windows 11. Because of the very good reviews tried dBoweramp. First the free version. Very,very slow. Registered myself because I thought it was a free trial problem. But no. Sometimes it takes +100 minutes to rip one cd. Ripping with at 0.7(!!). I regret my buy today

Set ripping mode to 'Burst' is it fast at ripping?

There are several possible reasons for slow ripping: scratched or dirty CD, copy protected CD, bad / dying drive, CR2 problems...

something is wrong. This is not normal. I've ripped over 5,000 CDs with dbpa, and only a handful took that long to rip and they were CDs with problems. I suspect you have "use C2 pointers" enabled in the ripper settings. Untick that option and see if that improves your speed.
