BD rebuilder Shrinking Quicker!!

[titot4u]

WOW...! I upgraded my PC from a "Dual Core" Processor to a "Dual Quad" Processor and the difference is like night and day. I also maxed out the memory to 4Ghz. The difference is undescribeable to a minimum of 5 hours per movie using BD rebuilder compared to the 12 hours using the Dual Core Processor. If anyone is interested in saving time, then this is the way to go.

Also overclocking gives you huge returns when encoding, a 20% oc will give you close to 20% faster encoding times when doing cpu intensive highest quality encodes

Someone else had mentioned the overclocking to me, but I am not to familiar in doing this. Is it an easy process? Where can I find information on the subject?

There has to be thousands of oc forums

a cpu clock speed is multiplier x system bus speed (usually memory real clock speed)

200Mhz system bus x 10x multiplier = 2Ghz cpu clock, raise either the system bus (which usually raises the memory speed depending on BIOS/mobo options) or multiplier and you get a higher clock speed, you may need extra voltage to make the cpu stable and you may have to use a after market hsf to keep temps down

These days you can easily get a 20-30% oc w/ Intel or AMD cpus

It is fun and well worth it

Do some reading for a week or two then try it

Thanks for the info ocgw. I guess I won't have to read into overclocking my PC for very long because according to the thread I just read, you CANNOT overclock any of the DELL PC's.

Here's an alternative link I found for DELL users "like myself" that will help maximize the use of your CPU since it cannot be overclocked.

enjoy.

I do appreciate your rapid responses on the subject.

titot4u - If you just run your re-encode jobs while you sleep, you shouldn't care how long they take. At 5 or so hours they'll finish before you wake up and no need to worry about overclocking. If you're one of those many people who (gasp!) think that they will simply freakin' die if they leave their computer on and working while they sleep, well, I'll refrain from telling you what I think about such people.

Nice helpful post!

No I'm not one of those guys caring about leaving my PC on overnight. If you must know, both my PC's run 24/7. I am infact a firm believer that shutting down a PC only causes wear and tear on the unit which will eventually cause hard drive failure etc. My one PC has been running for 6 years straight without shutting her down and she still works fantastic without a glitch.

The entire purpose of this post was to increase performance on the PC during reencoding by using BD rebuilder, and not shut down PC worries and issues.

I do appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Please excuse, I thought OP was talking about DVDRB, not BDRB. My apologies.

I'm running an athlon X2 4000+ dual-core processor OC'd to 2.733Ghz currently (260 x 10.5) with HT Link @ 1041 and 4Gb DDR2 800 memory at 455MHz. I generally rip to file with AnyDVD then cut out all the crap I don't want with TS Muxer and finish the process with a BD Rebuilder encode to make it all fit on a BD25. I'm normally inputing files ranging from 27Gb to 36Gb depending on the length of the movie. BD Rebuilder takes around 24-36 hours on avg to finish the entire process. I just purchased a Phenom II X4 955BE with a new Asus MB and 4Gb DDR3 1600 ram (I'm planning to switch to Windows 7 as well). I'm hoping to see some dramatic performance improvements (especially with a 25-30% OC) and I will be sure to post my findings. Anyone have any baseline comparisons btwn AMD X2 processors vs X4 processors in BD Rebuilder?

Oh, yeah!

A BD-RB reencode w/ my old Windsor core AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ stock (never did oc well) used to take 48hrs

Now an encode w/ my Deneb core Phenom II X4 940 BE @ 3.8Ghz takes 4.8hrs

Sweet! I can't wait to get all my parts in now and see what kind of results I can get. Thanks for the info!

I also just upgraded my old core-duo proc to a Q8400 quad-core. Still have 2 gb of ram, thinking about adding more next.

I kept the BDRB log from the last movie I reencoded and re-reencoded the same one just now (same settings- full backup, high-speed BD-25 option)

With the core-duo the time taken was 5:23, and with the new processor it was 2:50.
Definitely worth the upgrade

If you plan to keep running XP, then 2GB RAM is plenty, though more won't hurt. Newer OSs like Vista/W7 need more RAM, usually 4GB is about right for a 32bit newer OS. Encoding uses very little RAM, usually a few hundred MB. Video editing or Graphics editing can benefit from increased RAM, depending on the program used. If your video card uses some system RAM, then more may also help with that.

You can check your RAM usage with Task Manager. If your boot HDD spins a lot accessing the HDD for page files (Virtual memory) when the RAM runs low, then added RAM may be needed.
