I just flashed my drive, but there is a problem - Dvd Decrypter says "Device Not Ready" - can someone help me
The Pioneer is a slow ripper, something along the the lines of 2X speed average. By comparison, my Sony and Hitachi DVD drives will rip at 6X to 10X without too much problem. However if the DVD is beat up, a Netflix disk that has been around the block a time or thirty, the Pioneer has a better chance of doing the rip at the slower speed.
does the burning 2x on ANY media apply to dvd-rw?

how can you slow down the dvd reading anymore than it acually is. The pioneer burner only rips dvds out at 2x dvd speed. It takes like 40 mins for a dvd. kine

I suspect that if you use one of the non-hacked firmwares you'll get better read speeds.

No. 1.00, 1.21 and 1.30 official firmwares all limit DVD ripping speed to 2x. Those firmwares also limit read speed on DVD-Rs (burned DVD-ROMs) to 2-4x. Manufactured DVD-ROMs read at up to 12x fine. I don't know what Pioneer is thinking by limiting read speeds so severely. It's frustrating to put in a backup DVD of downloads and have it read at a crawl. I bought a LiteOn 16x DVD-ROM that reads those same discs much faster. The older firmware (0.58 and lower) reads discs much faster. Reviews like the one at THG show the speed wasn't limited with those versions.Originally posted by: frogster220 I suspect that if you use one of the non-hacked firmwares you'll get better read speeds.

They just released the final 2x DVD-R media version and an experimental 4x DVD-R and 2x DVD-RW firmware. I am using the 2X all one right now and it works great with my 1x LeadData discs
