DVD rip speeds?

[DaviDaVinci]

I'm looking at the Lite-On 16x DVD ROM

How much difference would it make when ripping DVD's compared to my Creative 6x DVD Rom? it takes me about 90-100 minutes to rip a 90 minute movie

Thanks

my NEC 16x dvd rips 2 hr movie in about 15 to 20 min.

My EPO 16X DVD ROM drive ripped Pearl Harbor (3hour) in just over 20 minutes.

what processor are you guys using?
I'm using 850 thunderbird.

I have about 55 more dvd's to rip and convert to divx so i might upgrade my PC. I just need to know what components to upgrade.

Thanks

my pioneer 16x dvd drive can rip a dvd in 5-6 minutes.

I have a AMD Athlon Classic Slot A 650MHz 384MB PC100 CAS2 and a Pioneer 106S @ 16X. I can rip Tomb Raider in about 5-7 minutes. Now if I use flask encoder I can go from dvd to encoded avi file in about 4 hours (file size: 980MB) Then when I use Virtual Dub 1.4.8, I can get it down to 600MB and lower. Tomb Raider BTW is 100mins.

DaviDaVinci, processor speed is the most important thing in divx encoding. If I were you I wouldn't worry about getting a faster DVD drive I would start save my pennies for a faster motherboard and processor. A 1.33GHz+ P4 or XP will let you encode a movie in real time if not faster if you use AVIsynth/Nandub or DVD2AVI to do the encoding.

Lite-Ons are probably the best for ripping because it's so fast, it averages 12.2x(16.16x max) for DVD playback, while the Pioneer rips at a modest average of 8.58x. But it wouldnt be that much of a difference in real world, saves you maybe 5 minutes max.

the lite-on 16x are the fastest at ripping DVD's... this DVD-ROM will be MUCH MUCH faster for you...

I'm thinking about getting the lite-on since theres a good deal right now for them.

I just need to rip all my dvds then sell them all as a package. I need money for my car audio system 🙂 i should make vcds also so i can watch them in my car.....hmmm...that's a thought.....

Thanks for the help guys.


EDIT: SELL my DVDs' 🙂 in case someone thinks i'm going to sell my rips....blah.... anyone with a bunch of money want to buy a bunch of dvd's LOL!!!
