Quiet media box but noisy DVD, Help! (1 Viewer)

[gazro2000]

I have built a very quiet media box , no more noise than my PS2. The only problem is the Pioneer DVR-111DSV 16x it is so noisey when playing a dvd or cd. Is there any software to reduce the spin speed so that I can enjoy my dvds. I dont really want to rip them to the hard disk to watch.

Some tips would be very welcome, so in advance. Gary

AnyDVD and Nero will do this.

Thanks I will give this a try and let you know how it goes.

Here's a german software to slow down your cd/dvd drive:
http://www.cd-bremse.de/.

Or try Nero DriveSpeed out of the Nero Toolkit to reduce speed.

I have tried Nero DriveSpeed it works okay but does it need setting and running everytime the media box is turned on. AnyDVD failed. I will try cd-bremse and see how that works. Thanks

Nero DLs: http://www.cdspeed2000.com/
I know Pioneer has its own app. (Nero did not work for me) - I'll find the app if Nero don't work for you either.

Please give feedback whatever your findings are...

EDIT: Saw your post - http://www.pioneer.no/no/content/support/support/software.html#utilityvarious

Pioneer tools!

It works flawlessly with nero cdspeed, I have set it to 2x and placed it in my windows startup folder so it runs in the background, cdbremese would not recognise my drive nor the pioneer tools but I suppose it is a new drive.

Thank you all very much for the advise. - Gary

I personally like anydvd since its capable of removing the region protection and skip fbi warnings / commercials on dvds as well.
