Very slow DVD ripping in Windows 7
I have installed Windows 7 (Home premium) as a dual boot (with XP) and now as a single boot.
With both setups it takes 2 or 3 times as long to rip a DVD to the hard drive (25-30minutes.)
I noticed in device manager, that for IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers: ATA Channel 0, ATA Channel 0 & ATA Channel 1 all have "DMA enabled" unchecked.
Should DMA be enabled by default when Win7 is installed? And if so does anyone have an idea why it would be cancelled on a fresh install?
The Pioneer DVR-216D was plug and play and just worked with XP so I haven't a clue about these sort of things. Should I have installed drivers for it when using Win7, or updated the firmware?
Many thanks for any replies.
