78056	2002-09-09 12:45:00	Hey all, I have an Aopen 32X writer, but it seems temperamental when I try and rip music to wav files from it. In nero cd-speed, I used to get a poor read speed, but since changing the settings in bios (UDMA enabled, etc) and making the same changes through the system hardware (DMA enabled, etc) I have managed to get good CAV read-speeds up to maximum. The problem is now that when I go through the "save track" option in Nero, it will rip the track to wav file perfectly fine for the first 5 tracks or so of a CD, before suddenly dropping away down to about 10X or so... This really annoys me, and I've cancelled and resumed the ripping process from the track it slows down at, and it does the same thing again... for a few songs, it is fine, but suddenly it slows right down??? Anyone know of what this problem might be?? I'm running Win98 on a P4 1.8GHz. 256 DDR PC2700 ram, Maxtor 40gig ATA133 hd, Asus P4S533 mobo. Am i missing something? Lo.	Lohsing (219)
78057	2002-09-09 12:47:00	Ooops... meant to say that after enabling DMA, i got good read speeds in Nero CD Speed... everything was well within norms, but if I went to the main Nero program and tried to save tracks or the whole album from there, it would slow right down after 5 tracks or so...

78058	2002-09-09 13:23:00	Have you tried different CDs	-=JM=- (16)
78059	2002-09-09 22:30:00	try cdex or EAC. you may be hitting errors on the disk that nero dosn't handle to well.	tweak'e (174)
78060	2002-09-09 22:32:00	cdex (http://www.cdex.n3.net/)	tweak'e (174)
78061	2002-09-09 22:38:00	You're right Tweak'e... I did a "CD Quality check" and there were some huge errors which were being detected around the same points in the cd which was being ripped. Will use CDex to re-rip to hard drive... it's quite strange though that Nero doesn't speed up once past the errors... also, do you know why Nero doesn't handle those errors well? Lo.	Lohsing (219)
78062	2002-09-09 23:28:00	no idea why nero don't hndle the errors. i use cdex in parnoid mode, it will take a while to rip if it hits errors. it also can rip to ogg :) and has cddb support :) what codec to you use for the mp3?	tweak'e (174)
78063	2002-09-10 04:08:00	Oh ok... so ripping in paranoia mode will get through the errors, yeah? I was actually ripping to wav file... Don't like compressing files if I have the original CD... Though if I were to use an mp3 encoder, I vary between the Fraunhofer codec @ 192kbps in Musicmatch, and the LAME v3.91 encoder in CDex. It really depends on whether I can be bothered with the whole naming of cd's... if one prog doesn't get it through cddb, the other one usually does! Lo.	Lohsing (219)
