DVD ripping

[Cynicism]

on a 1 gig Tbird with 128megs/133/cas2 and a ide 7200 drive, how long would it usually take to rip a 1 hour movie to mpeg 2?

 

[jinglingxl]

around 3hrs depending on which program you use

How do these movies look when you guys do it? Just as good as the original? Video-wise that is; I'm assuming you get kinda screwed on audio options?

u guys must be kidding me
i have a 1.2 ghz says takes 5 hrs.
256 ram
i can't get the video and audio to sync together, due to crappy video card.

To rip doesn't take long at all, to encode will anywhere from 10-30 hours, depending on how you do it.

I have encoded SVCDs with 3-pass encoding that look and sound the same as a DVD and fit on 2-3 discs.

You sure it has something to do with a video card. Audio sync is a big problem some people have with encoding but it is rarely a hardware issue.

Then when does the audio problems happen? Out of sync (audio) movies are worse than CAM's yet they rarely show up on the sample so they don't get nuked (sorry state of shlt as a result of having kids running things).

Was going to take me 85 hours to do it on my PII 400

3 hours??? You're either encoding in very crappy quality or you don't know what you're talking about.

I have a 900mhz classic Athlon, and it takes 8 to 10 hours to encode a movie to VBR SVCD. (480x480, mpeg2) I always try to fit the movies on 2 CDs, and encode in 16x9 format so I can use the &quot;squeeze&quot; feature on my Wega.

Ripping the .vob files from the DVD takes like 5-10 minutes, then I make a project file with DVD2AVI which takes 10-15 minutes, and encode with TMPEnc after that. The result is actually pretty good, and the shorter movies look very close to a DVD.
