Anyone have a clue why my CD is so slow?

(1/4) > >>

Jenda:
My CD drive is incredibly slow. When I try to extract a CD using GnomeBaker, it takes from 40 to 120 minutes. Burning is quite normal. Soundjuicer tells me the extraction speed starts at 3x, later dropping even lower than 1x.
DMA is on, if you ask. It is a 46x (or so) Liteon DVD-R drive.

Any ideas?

Jenda:
Oh, and two more things:
1.
Ubuntu 5.04
2.
I didn't feel like making a new thread for this: I downloaded most of the multimedia codecs, but since I'll have broadband soon I thought I'd wait with the biggest ones. Can anyone tell me what exactly w32codecs, ffmpeg and mjpegtools are for?

Thanks,
Jenda

adiment:
maybe the drive is slowly starting to go? Unless it's the OS's problem? Maybe try a firmware update...

Aloone_Jonez:
Is this a Mac or is it an x86?

Perhapps it's the driver, does it perform as expected under Mac OS, or Windows?

WMD:
GnomeBaker is probably using libcdparanoia with all the error checking turned on.  Don't know how you would change this in that program.  K3B makes it pretty easy to do so.
