Hi all, have tried googling a bit for some answers but have been unsuccesful or over-run with Windows related information. anyone got any ideas how to speed up ripping in FC3? Sound-Juicer is telling me its ripping between 2.5-3.8X, and this seems painfully slow. Ive removed the ide=nodma line from my grub, and /sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc reveals that dma is 1 (on). HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument Its a Samsung DVD (read) and RW drive if that is applicable. Cheers Niko
