Every new dvd drive has restrictions on it so that it can only rip protected dvds at 2x maximum because of Macrovision.

This answer intrigued me. I then went to my backup collection (all of which are demacrovisioned) and proceeded to rip. I wasnt suprised when I was still ripping at 2x max.

I can on occasion get up to 8x on some PS2 dvds. I mean reach that speed not hold it. But it does rip a heck of a lot faster than Movie DVD's.

I figure that because Movie DVD's are constant MPEG where PS2 games are bits and pieces of movie files.



Tyler!
