dvd decrypter extreme slow

graysky · Post by **graysky** » Fri Apr 10, 2009 10:30 am

I got DVD Decrypter working by following the instruction at this URL. Now when I rip under Ubuntu/Intrepid using Wine 1.0.1 I'm only doing 1.7x speeds. If I rip under Windows, they are much faster. Is there a setting I need to tweak to enable higher speeds? It's basically taking 50 min to rip a DVD that normally takes about 10

Thanks!

The wiki recommends adding the following to ~/.wine/config (which doesn't exist for me). I make a file called ~/,wine/config and inserted the below text but it didn't help:
Code: Select all
[AppDefaults\\DVDDecrypter.exe\\Version]
"Windows"="nt40"
Thoughts are welcomed

It's not a wiki, it's the AppDB. There is no "config" file for anyone. What the AppDB recommends is making the changes in winecfg, which is Wine's GUI configuration tool. http://wiki.winehq.org/winecfg

Thank you for the post. I actually got it working and tried to change my topic but you replied too fast

Can you re-read my first post and offer advice on my updated speed issue?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The instructions you say you followed are for DVDFab Decrypter, but the AppDB entry you linked to is for DVD Decrypter. Which one are you using? They are not the same program.

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=1558
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=2377

I recommend following the instructions in the AppDB for whichever one you are using. Neither calls for the quartz.dll override specified in the instructions you followed. Unnecessary overrides can cause problems.

It's DVD Decrypter. I removed the quartz.dll override by my slow rip speed is still present. I took WINE out of the mix and simply did:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/home/user1/image.iso

This is also going very slowly. Do you have any thoughts why that might be? UDMA is enabled and I'm out of ideas...

Code: Select all

$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/scd0

/dev/scd0:

 Model=BENQ    DVD DD DW1640                   , FwRev=BSRB    , SerialNo=9JC5U150C353364133SP

 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0

 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2

Time to ask your distro forum. Your problem is not Wine related.

It could be the drive's firmware intentionally slowing down speed to keep noise level down when it detects a video dvd.

Look in synaptic for dvdbackup, acidrip and dvd95. One of then will do it.
