That confused me, because I started to store all my homevideos (wich I converted to DVD in 100s of hours) on HDD and compress them to smaller files.

so I have to put my old DVD-ROM into an external case

- We want the full DVD read speed for ripping DVD!
Not true. Plextor drives come with a DVD playback speed of 2x in order to be as silent as possible when watching a movie. It has nothing whatsoever to do with copy protection.

The ripping speed can be increased by enabling SpeedRead and/or changing the DVD Read Speed setting in PlexTools, or by pressing the drive eject button for at least three seconds before loading the disc.
