I recent;y ripped Freaky Friday. It took me 15 minutes. I then lent it to my friend who ripped it with his samsung drive and it took him 9 minutes! I did a speed test and here are my results:

Why is it so slow? I used the no limits firmware and I'm pretty sure DMA is enabled

He did, it just didn't show up because it was on a Geocities server, here it is, I threw it up on mine:

gigabyte,

Try to get it on something besides geocities or a similar free server page, they often don't support directly linking images to other sites, as is the case this time.

have you tried ripping from other singly layer pressed movies?

It may be the actual disk. I have noticed that very rarely, if a disk is heavily scratched or damaged in some way, my LTD-163D will rip it very slowly.

Hard drive you're ripping to and Toshiba should not be on the same IDE channel to achieve best performance...
