EAC is one (www.exactaudiocopy.de)also many drives have utilities that allow you to fine tune ripping speeds, but these are very drive specific.
i have a drive that happens to be a very good ripper, with the ability to rip all my discs at high speed with no errors. the fact that it failed with all 3 dualdiscs is VERY significant - i've never seen it fail before, even with badly scratched discs.
Follow Ups:
My best ripper, an 8X Toshiba DVD-ROM drive, cannot rip at exactly 1X at its slowest speed. In fact, its slowest ripping speed turned out to be under 3X, according to my testing with EAC.
yeah - the drive probably has a "min read speed" - you may be able to find a utility on www.rpc1.org that allows you to step down the speed by altering the firmware, but don't hold your breath.you may want to know though - the reason 3X may be the min speed may be the drive is optimised to read at max accuracy at this speed. with modern drives, slower is not necessarily better - it may introduce more jitter and the motor is not optimised to spin that slowly :-)
