What is the estimated time for ripping the largest dvd?

What is the estimated time for ripping a full 9gig dvd movie and to copy it to the hard drive and to burn it on a dvdr in x4 speed on a P4 1.7 (not celeron), 256ram, dvd read speed x16, ide133 hard drive 7200rpm,

if its a 9 gig movie - you would have to split it .. and burn two disks



should be able to do both disks and ripping and such within a hour i guess..


why ? whats the rush ?

[jack_ass]

no rush i just wanted astimate time
1 hour its not alot time

On my P4-2.53 system it would take about 20 minutes to rip, 25 minutes to re-encode or transcode with DVD2one or DVDshrink and 15 minutes to burn at 4x.

Appearently CPU speed doesn't gain anything. I am getting the same times as with an older Pentium III 450 and also a Pentium III 1.2G laptop.

Yeah I noticed I get similar results on my second system which is an AMD 1400MHz Duron system.

some programs do some don't

instant copy 7 could do a 9 gig move in 90min on a 2.2 gig pent4
but it took any 2 to 3 hours on amd 1200 processor

dvd shrink encodes rates are about the same though

Remember that IC re-encodes the video, while DVD2One and DVD Shrink transcode the video. Encoding is more CPU dependant than transcoding (although it helps with both).

Rip speeds vary from system to system. I've got a Lite-on 16x DVD-ROM that rips single layer discs at 11-15.5x, and dual sided discs at 6-9x. Burning 4x media on my A05 takes 15min for a full disc (and for DVD9 backups I try to fill the disc, up to 4,701MB a few times )

The real time variable part is the re-encode/transcode/editing. There are a 100 different ways to do this and each way has different time constrants. So it's really impossible to say.
