i'm goin on a trip and i wanted to rip some dvd's to the hard drive so i dont have to haul a bunch of dvd's and possibly break them.
any way i used DVD fab and it took for ever and it should be a bit faster its a 16x read drive so i donno whats going on, this is plugged in and everything.
mabe its the software, does any one know if a good quality free fast ripper?
I'm not sure whats the best way to rip a DVD, but I keep reading about Mac the ripper and Handbreak. I think I understand that you use Mac the ripper to get on the computer first, then handbreak it if I wana get it on my Ipod. (If this isn't right can some clarify it for me please). But through all my searching I can't seem to find links to download these programs to test these out and play with it...so if anyone is kind enough to provide a link much appreciated.

I've been playing around with some different dvd rippers and they seem to offer some different types of formats to convert to (although there are many the same in each program). For example, some have DIVX and some don't.
I am trying to copy some of my movies to my hard drive for travelling, but would like to shrink the file sizes somewhat so as not to fill up my hard drive space (have to have games after all)!
Feel free to recommend what you think is best ripper out there (don't mind purchasing software).
I have a DV7-1023 that is less than a month old. I finally got around to burning some dvd movies from files I copied to the local hard drive. The total process time to burn a movie from start to finish takes 23 minutes at 8x speed.
On my old laptop the process time from start to finish took about 15 minutes at 6x speed.
The machine has the vista 64bit version that came with laptop. I am using Nero version 7.
Is there anything I can do to speed up my burn time?
There are no other apps running, and I tried burning right after rebooting.
I have HP dv 9700 with vista home edition
My dvd rom cannot read dvds but cds.
I didn't use the dvd rom read any kind of cds and dvds since i brought. ( i brought at Jan 2008).
I do not install any burning software and I tried with various dvds ( movies, games) and it isn't working.
I have an HDX16 1050ev.
When I got it, I forgot to make recovery discs and now that I got it back from the service (they replaced the HDD cause it was malfunctioning) its empty, as they told me.
I kept a backup of the Recovery partition (D with windows back up and by Copy Paste before I took the laptop at the service. Now I copied them all back at the new partition that I made.
When I make a new partition in the new HDD, 10GB in size, and try the Recovery Option (Esc and then F11) it says no bootable device.
Is there a way to make the notebook see that the recovery partition is actually in place?
My laptop is HP dv9700 with window vista home edition
I never use the dvd rom since I bought (never burn a cd/ dvd or read a dvd).
But, now i wanna to install a game and its format is DVD, but the dvd rom doesn't take it. I try with cd and it works.

I read some other thread it points to something got uninstalled that causes "this computer does not have a drive capable of creating cds or dvds. Contact HP Support."
it mention one of the solution is to restore to an earlier version. But I prefer not to restore to earlier version if possible. is there a program that I can download from HP , to be able to create the recovery disk ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a new MacBook Pro and am going to give my folks my 2 year old HP dv6500t. I backed up all my stuff and using the System Recovery DVDs from HP wiped out and reformatted the drive.
Unfortunately now when I try to turn on the system I get a message about there being an error in c:windowspantherunattend.xml at line 6 column 169 (I think) and it can't process the answer file.
I tried to boot into safe mode to see if I could see what is in the unattend.xml file and of course Windows Install can't run in Safe Mode.
Is there any way I can get the dv6500 to be useable again?
For a while now, my wireless has been cutting in and out and sometimes takes about a half hour to an hour to be able to connect again. Other laptops in the house connect to the same internet connection just fine. I met a girl last night who was saying how her internet wont connect anymore and she had the same laptop as me so I'm assuming its the computer and not the internet.
even before this issue though, the wireless networks window, when you click on the two computers to see the different connections, it always freezes to a white window to begin with and will take up til an hour to actually show the different connections.
This problem is incredibly annoying and i just want a solid internet connection without it cutting out .
I bought my Sony SZ series a while back on my trip to Japan. But whenever I try to do a driver update or upgrade it takes forever (24-36hours) and would often disconnect because it connects to the 'Asia Support Site'
View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought a brand new dell xps 12 about two months ago and the past month when I go to turn on my computer it takes multiple switches of the power button to turn on the computer. At first, I would flip the power switch and it would show the dell logo on the screen sound like it was powering up and then stop. I would hit the switch again and it would power up as normal. Now it's taking at least five times before it boots up normally. Is there something wrong with my hardware and is this a normal problem with the dell xps 12's?

Dell's site didn't explain that well and I'd like to know from someone who has one.
i installed W7 64-bit on my Z590 last month, and everything has gotten to perfect working order. The only snag I've run into is that waking the computer from hibernation takes an annoying long amount of time. On the scale of minutes, whereas a fresh boot-up from shut-down will take less than a minute, and wake-from-hibernation on my XP install before did the same. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?
Ignoring the whole debate on why-do-you-hibernate (I run several programs, especially photoshop and MATLAB, that I do not wish to close and lose temporary history data), is there any kind of remedy for this? It's annoyed me to the point that I just put the computer on sleep instead when necessary, which drains the battery. I've been hibernating my laptops for 7 years and I really hope not to have to change my habits. I know another friend with the same setup has this issue as well.
My 3-month old Sony Vaio SR laptop is taking an age to open up photos - and I think it was since I installed IE8.
Since the window boxes within Windows Vista are run using IE technology, I am thinking it is to blame?
So when I open a photo in a photo album, it takes about 8 seconds to open. The photo sizes are only around 1mb each. Once the first photo is opened, I can browse to the next photo quite quickly. But if I close the picture window down and open another, it takes another 8 seconds to load up the photo.
Just to clarify the subject, the right click that takes a long time to show up is when it's done on the desktop or when you right-click in a windows explorer folder, blank area witnothing selected (like to create a new folder or something). When you right-click, it shows the blue circular thing to sow it's tinking about it, it's loading and takes about 8 seconds to pop up after the click. Right-clicking on selected files, folders or in any other software, pops up instantly without issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I "restart" my Y500 using windows 8.0, it takes a minimum of 15 minutes. Sometimes, if I have time to wait, it takes more than one hour. 90% of the time, I restart it using the on/off button. No problems at all using the button, but the software takes a VERY long time or won't restart at all--just the green screen with the word "restart."

I have multiple T430's at my company that are slow to shutdown. It takes approximately 10 minutes to shutdown. It is also consistant, as soon as you login and shut down it will take that long. These are all installed using an image. Running windows 7 64 bit. Looked in event log, but no indication of abnormal errors. Using Kaspersky, Office 2010, Mozy. Checked some registery settings on microsofts website but that didn't fix the issue either. Not sure if this is a lenovo problem, or a windows problem or a conflict with other software.

It used to work fast but suddenly it became very slow. I tried restarting , it got shut down but was unable to start. So I ran diagnostic test which gave an error in hard disk with error code :2000-0142. The next morning I ran the diagnostic test again and it ran successfully without any error.
I formatted it from my recovery disk and it took me almost whole night as the formatting process was also very slow. My laptop still works very slow. It takes almost 15mins for start-up and my applications are also opening too slow.
is there an easy way to make my Aspire 3820T operate faster, it takes for ever to load chrome or any program
