What is the longest DVD conversion you've ever had?

Tovid. I can't find anything half-decent in Linux. My last DVD took 5 hours, and this one is the same size.

lol.....in that time I could have isntalled vmware, isntalled windows, installed " _____" and would have burned my disc...lol
 
I've used Tovid (just simple scripts that use mencoder) to convert a few DVDs, and it's never taken that long (max ~8 hours on an Athlon XP system). Something must be wrong.

your own fault for not sticking with it😛

hell, if you had gentoo, vmware is like two commands...emerge and then running it.

with any other distro it is a simple install.

Meh, installing VMWare isn't the problem (I think I already did), I'm just not sure of how installing Windows works, does it get a new parition?

No, it creates an image file on your current Linux partition.

However big the Windows install is...so it could range from ~2GB to as much as you want.
 
Around 20 hours for DVD => 3xCD SVCD on my Athlon 1400 @ 1560. I did a 9 pass using Cinema Craft Encoder.

I never did SVCD conversion again as it is a WASTE of time and quality (I did not have DVD burner back in the day).

DVD shrinking now on my Opteron takes about 10 min to copy the dvd to your HD, another 8 min to analyze, and a nother 8 -9 minutes to shrink, but of course the conversion is not as good.
