Just tested my Toshiba SD-M1712 DVD movie rip speeds in CD Speed 2.02

Used the movie Star Wars: Episode 1 - Disk 1

Results are as follows

With just RPC 1 patched firmware:

3.58x Average Speed

With speed hacked RPC 1 firmware:

Start 4.22x
End 4.33x
Average 7.56x

and hit a top rip speed of 10x

The Movie was 7.82GB, Dual Layer

Here's a pic of the results:

Since Ian's a nice guy and is hosting the image for him


BTW: http://hijacker.rpc1.org/toshiba_nolimit

I thought hoxlund used to post his own pics. Hoxlund, did you lose your server, or am I remembering wrong?

cfitz

Just saw your other post. I guess I remembered wrong...

But you did have your own web site at one point. Is it one of those free ones that doesn't permit image linking?

Oh well, I guess the only pic of hoxlund's here is the one Ian posted of hoxlund's room.

yeah i used angelfire, btw where is that pic of my supposed room, and what are your guy's feedback on the toshiba speed hacked speeds?

another side note, this thing rips very, very fast, and at full 16x dvd speed its almost not even audible

It ripped the entire Dogma Movie without compression with DVD Shrink 2.3 in 11 Minutes 4 Seconds

I think Hijacker and Neo did a nice job. The Toshiba drives have received a fair amount of positive feedback, and with the artificial rip-speed limit and RPC-2 protection removed, it seems like a very nice drive. I would consider it if I were in the market for a new drive.

yeah, i'm thinking of getting a DVD-ROM drive, and this is one of the candidates.
i guess the deliberation is between the Toshiba SD-M1712 and the JLMS 166S.
the only thing is, the Toshiba doesn't support KProbe and the Lite-On does, a big plus for the Lite-On.
i think that would be the deal breaker for me, except that i don't have a DVD burner and probably won't for a long time so maybe it shouldn't matter to me.

And if you ended up getting a Lite-ON DVD Burner, then you could use that with KProbe...

true.
but like VEFF says in another topic, i think i would prefer to keep the reading and writing duties for spearate drives, and have a DVD-ROM for reading/testing.

then again maybe your ideas is a good one - use the Lite-On burner for writing and KProbe testing, the Toshiba DVD-ROM for reading/ripping...

like i said, in the meantime it's hypothetical.

which DVDROM do you like better - the Toshiba or the JLMS?

i love my toshiba drive, like i said earlier, at full speed, its not even audible, my 120mm fan blowing 121CFM is louder, even on lowest rpm speed

course loudness is only a concern for some, but another thing is the rip speed, i mean for a dual layer dvd it peaked at 10x, thats saying tons

im gonna rip a single layer dvd to see how fast that gets up to, im guessing 16x

ive heard the litey based dvd drives get fairly loud

another side note, i believe we now carry every flavor of dual format dvd burners at staples now

we now carry the buslink, cendyne, sony, tdk, pioneer at staples, all dvd-/+rw drives

Optorite?
Optorite DD0203 +/- drive

He neglected the optorite because it tastes like Sony

the optorite is like the sony? it has 4x dvd+rw? it has 16x CD-RW? it has Sony's name recognition?

hmm, i wonder since i speed hacked the drive, now when it spins it sounds like a jet, you can tell its off rotation

but the thing is i could tell the drive wasn't new when i got it from newegg

so this jlms isn't the same thing as this liteon model:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.a ... 27-131-113

if so im RMAing this toshiba after i flash it back to the original toshiba firmware, and buying the litey model

so make up your mind about the Toshiba drive:
is it quite or is it loud???

the JLMS XJ-166S is the Lite-On 166S.
same thing, JLMS is Lite-On!
JLMS = JVC Lite-On Manufacutring and Sales (or something like that), it's a joint partnership between Lite-On and JVC.

It was a joke referring to the word choice of "flavor"

I'm not mocking in any way, just trying to be funny...

The drive wasn't new?

Very odd.


Hmm, I think I'll wait, and spend more money on the DVD Burner from a retail store, no way I'm buying a "new" drive, and I might possibly get a used one.

no it was very quiet for like the first day, but since i speed hacked it, it gets very loud, almost like a bad drive

and when i got it from newegg, it wasn't new, they sold them as oem from there site

ordering the jlms right now, the retail version

hmmm, now after the computer was sitting off for a whole night, it doesn't make that loud noise while spinning fast, it sounds like after i first got it

whats going on?

Try different discs - a lot of them are badly ballanced, so they vibrate while spinning very fast...

i use the same princo 4x dvd-r as before, difference being not there burned

Also,

how could you tell that it was used? OEM should still be a new drive.

Usually when customer returns a drive which is in perfect working condition(but might be mounted, with minor marks), the store will probably repackage it and put them for sale again.
