I have just bought one of these drives and i have started to back up my original dvd collection but when using dvd shrink my rate is only 3,500kbs is this normal or does it all depend on the dvd and also does anyone know if there is a firmware update as i cant find one

Is that the average rate? Because if it is, that's a little slow, *but* NEC burners have never been known for their ripping speed. If you really want the fastest ripping speeds, then invest in a 16x Lite-On DVD-ROM. Their read speeds are incredibly fast.

Whats that then

Also my cd reached 5000 when ripping a minute ago but gradually

I'll second Nero about the Lite-on DVD drive. I use a lite-on to rip my disks and get speeds in excess of 7k.

But you already knew that now didn't you m8?

Of course it depends on the dvd, wtf?

NEC 3500 dvdrw are rip speed limited to 4x max when ripping a dvd, if u want rid of it you have to flash to a different firmware with the lock removed - now I rip at 12x

Take a look at this thread. It helps.

It's a firmware flash to get better speeds. I just bought this DVD-RW and a Sony 16X DVD-Rom. Hopefully the DVD-Rom isn't that bad.
