The most likely problem is the burner. I assume the rip is a .iso
from MDRP,
I moved the Samsung to my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz, and found it to be
sensitive to the length of my FW cable ... well, maybe.
I changed from a long one (6 '), to a 1 ' one, and an overly
lengthy rip (hours ...) became 21 minutes., the average for a ~
7.5GB DVD.
Then, after a few rips, it couldn't read a next disk's IFO, but
moving the disk to my internal DVD RW, that reader could. Turning
the Samsung off for awhile, and back on, and its "working" again.
Feels like a firmware and / or hardware issue with the Samsung.
Currently awaiting OWC's back to business day response.
Having a clean DVD to rip from is also an important factor.
OWC has refused my request to replace the drive.
I bought it in August 2009, so I guess they're in the right.
Any hints on upgrading the firmware?

I will most likely need to resuscitate a Compaq Presario running
Windoze 95 ... and install the drive there? run the file from the
referenced site?
