Wow - AthlonXP = DVD ripping ownage.

[notfred]

Damn. I've been copying my DVD's to my hard drive, and I just replaced my Athlon classic 950 with a XP1600+. Despite the fact that the clock speed on the XP is just about 50% higher than the Athlon classic, it rips DVD's (and encodes to DIVX) twice as fast! damn, I'm impressed.

what program do you use to rip and encode at the same time?

 

[notfred]

I don't, I use cladMdec to rip, and DVD2AVI to encode, and virtualdub to add audio. Serioulsy though, this chip is encoding to divx almost in real time. I'm doing a 1:53 long movie, and the estimated time to encode is 2:05.

oh, and I installed office 2K and some stuff while it was encoding.

I was ripping some DVDs today too, and noticed how fast it went, it took almsot 3 times as long on my old 1.33 @ 1.43 thunderbird
