    I always rip at MAX speed unless I have a scratched/dirty disk that is causing problems. Depends on the burner too. My old LG will still rip disks that my NEC has trouble with.

      My old LG is a great reader but has a lousy recovery for inserted dummy sectors for DVDs. My NEC will sometimes not be able to read a scratched disc while the LG just slows down and marches through it.

      About reading speed, I always set my to Max. Both my NEC and LG will slow down on their own if they have any reading problems.

        I leave my rip speed on max...but regardless of what I choose my LG 4167B (DL13) has a dang RipLock at 4-4.5x. It reads the majority of discs. I've only had problems with a couple that had bad scratches and it just slows down and chugs through. I wouldn't worry too much about using a lower speed.

            Also enable the setting "Set Read Speed" in DVD Decryper and not just have the MAX setting greyed out - that can make a big difference.

              Are you talking about ripping to your hard drive or burning to a blank disc?
