I have a NEC 3500AG with TDK 2C8 SE firmware upgrade, the ripping speed is only 7X max for DL (manufacturer limitation according to Emperor).

I'm thinking of buying a DVD-ROM for ripping and use the NEC for burning. Is this a good idea? Also, what brand of DVD-ROM is best? LiteOn???

Please give me your recommendation on a BRAND and MODEL....anyone...Emperor??
Thanks.

No, grab an AOpen 1648/AAP or Toshiba SD-M1802, both can do CSS DL ripping up to 10X, while SL up to 16X

Emperor,
Thank you for your fast reply. You've been a great help.
I search www.newegg.com (my favorite online store) and the AOpen 1648/AAP is on back order. I guess I'll wait a little while for newegg.com to stock up the AOpen 1646/AAP. Thanks!!!
