Does your burner support 16x?
Also what program are you using?

Ok…sigh.
Download [http://www.dvdfab.com/dvd-fab-platinum.htm](http://www.dvdfab.com/dvd-fab-platinum.htm)
You can search torrents/newsgroups if you know what they are for it, or pay $50.
Or get a copy from a friend.
Insert DVD and your possibilities are endless on how to rip, with menus, without, compressed, uncompressed, remove bonus features, etc. all that jazz.
On the front of your DVD burner does it show the DVDRW logo?
?
Mostly all new burners display that logo whether its a laptop or desktop drive so if yours does not have it, chances are it’s not a dvd burner.
