Disc access speed in 1.6.6

[mike admin]

This is continuation of http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2600

The disc IO engine is updated once again in MakeMKV 1.6.6 . If you experienced disc speed problems in 1.6.4-1.6.5 and still have them in 1.6.6, please post here. If your problems are gone with 1.6.6 then post a note too.

Fixed the DVD access speed for me. Thanks.

Good results here, also (although in all honesty I never had a speed issue with the previous versions either). I'm using a firmware- modified Liteon IHES-208.

Another "good" result for me (maybe to do with continued mod of the I/ O process)...in version 1.65 my BD RIPS would start to fail at the 60-70% process claiming a fault with the BD STRUCTURE. However, in 1.66 the BD RIP IS FAST AND FLAWLESS. (I tested with 4 of the same BDs.)

Thank you....

With 1.6.6 I am unable to open the only BluRay I have tried. I turned on debugging and the last entry in the log is "Using Direct Access Disk Mode". I get a program error, exiting when I try and open the bluray.

1.6.3 is able to open the BluRay and is presently backing it up to an MKV.

I am running Windows XP as a guest within VMWare ESXi 4.1 with the drive in passthrough mode.

1.6.6 has fixed my speed issue, I'm now back to the speed of 1.6.3.

Many Thanks

Everything is fine here, getting between 2x and 5x ripping on blu-rays.

Disk access in 1.6.6 was fixed working now once again 3-6 times faster than in the previous two updates. Returned to 3.5X -7X speed, taking only 12 minutes vs. 75 minutes for a 5GB DVD. Thanks!

I'm currently ripping 24 Season 8 on blu-ray... disc 3 would not get any faster than 3MB/s until the last ten minutes or so of the rip when I got to 10MB/s. Except for the initial slow copy of small files, disc 4 has so far been at 23-26MB/s.

Both discs are new, having been watched once on my Sony S760. No scratches or finger prints or anything.

1.6.6 fixed the speed (and other issues) I was seeing as well.
