Power Pack Ripping Speed

[JVILLAS]

Hi, I seem to have lost quite a bit of ripping speed, I was ripping at any where between 20x to 40+x, now suddenly can't seem to get past 11x, any ideas. I'm using dmc10 beta8 with Power Pack3 on win.xpsp1. My settings have not changed. Also I get stuttering when I try to sample tracks before I ripp. This happened rather suddenly as Iwas ripping a stones 40 licks 2cd, first cd ripped great and 2nd.I had difficulty retrieving disc info from the free server, I finally did, but suddenly lost ripp speed. THanks jvillas

Ripping Speed

Do you have a 2nd CD drive you can try?

Hi Spoon, yes I have a 2nd drive same problem, This is what I tried. I uninstalled my dvd rom drive Which is a pioneer120,6weeks old,and installed a plexwriter40x12x40a which is a spare and began to ripp. and my ripp speed now seems ok. There were some odd speedreadings that occured like 143.3x,51.5x,and 0.0x ,but generaly the speed was reading 20xto40x, I don't know if these numbers were a result of using the plexwriter as a ripper, which I have never done before.Ive only used it to burn.I guess what I'm uncertain about is what may have caused my ripping speed to drop in the first place, and whether I should continue to use the Plexwriter as prmarily a ripper and for cd playback.I may re-install my Pioneer to see if I still have the same problem. The problem seems to be with my system a setting or something who knows. Finally on my 2nd. drive I have a plexwriter premium also about 6wks old. Do you have any thoughts about any of this? jvillas

You might want to clear dBpowerAMP off fresh (that is follow the instructions here, don't mind it says dAP):

And see if a new install helps.

Hi Spoon, did as you suggested a refresh, and a clean install. Ripped 4 cds, ripping speed was as I had been use to getting x20to x40+and very smooth. Only difficulty I was retreiving cd info on the first cd, it got hung-up and error message appeared, send to microsoft, I ignored this and tried again 2nd. attempt cd was instantly recognized as were the other cds.I'm going to do a bit more ripping before I re-register. Oh yeah, I installed the latest dmc bete10r9 and am converting to ape and mpc. Thankx for all your help.
