I upgraded to a 2ghz Core 2 Duo laptop for work/school/personal use last week. Been running it through various speed tests...just converted a DVD to XviD in 1 hour 26 minutes :Q

Yay for new tech!

Converting DVDs to XVID is so not worth the time.

Overnight + que = 1.4gb Xvids looks great on SDTVs and HDTVs. What's not to like?

DVD authoring is like a magical but dark forest. There's so many treasures to be found, but to get there, you need to get past the baddies

Why would you rip a DVD you already own to Xvix? Something that is of lower quality for HDTV? Watch the freaking DVD!!!

Convenience and protection. All my movies are on my file server and can be played back on any computer or Xbox in the house. I don't have to worry about my discs getting scratched or lost, either. I keep them all tucked away safely in a file cabinet. My living room doesn't have any discs floating around either, nice and clean

As far as quality, even 700mb Xvid files look flawless on an SDTV. I haven't tested the 700mb files on an HDTV, but 1.4gb Xvids looks great on HDTVs (plus XBMC upconverts).
