Can I *DVD RIP* on a Intel 500Mghrtz

[likwid8]

I was wondering, because I have a Intel Celeron 500Mghrtz and I am wondering is it worth me buying a DVD-ROM and if I can process the dvd ripping? too slow? will it drop frames? what will happen or actually is it decent to rip to SVCD or DVD-R? plz let me know thnxs!

[jeex]

processor speed isnt really as important as harddrive space

[likwid8]

Ok how much time will it take me to encode and how much space we talking? i got 18 gigs free and is 8 hours decent worth waiting?

[brown1978]

You will need about 10 gigs of space. Encoding depends, for SVCD probably with a 500 celeron will take you all day for a movie. Divx about 10+ hours.

[likwid8]

ok what about DVD-R? more than a day?

[brown1978]

DVD-r you need to buy a dvd recorder. Which they are not cheap right now, it will be faster on DVD-r though, because you dont need to convert the ripped VOB files from the DVD.

that is totally wrong....CPU power is the most important in terms of encoding time.....doubling your CPU power can nearly cut your encoding time in half

i know this personally because i have a 1.2 ghtz athlon and 650 mhtz athlon and encode on both...there is a big difference.

however, slower CPU's won't cause any problems...just take longer encode

He was asking about ripping not encoding, so hard drive space is more important if he was talking about ripping.

poopyhead,

read before you say i'm totally wrong, ya nunce..

[poopyhead]

jeex, ya...you're still wrong

[meandhers]

Easy guys...
I'd have to say yes HD space and HD speed (dont forget that one) are important. need at least 12-15 gigs free and preferably a 7200 speed.
As for quality, I am seeing not much imporved quality on my rig as speed.
I had a 533k6-2, 320 100mz ram and was encoding one hour of video a night on regular setting taking around 4-6 hrs!!! the quality was good though. some blothiness on high speed sequences.
Now with my 1600+XP AMD, 256 PC2100 and a 7200 HD instead of 5400,
I am encoding 2hrs of video on Highest quality in 3-4 hrs..
So to not be long-winded....You can do it on anything just about if you have the patience.
**One thing to remember though, is that encoding video is one of the most taxing thing you can have your CPU do. I think that's why I shortend the life of my K6-2, or could have been a cawinka-dink...

hmm... one thing poopy.
if you have the fastest cpu in the world.. and a 8gig HD wich is mostly filled up with system files and misc. files, you wont have enough HD space for the VOB files. my point is you wont be able to fit 9gigs of video onto a 8gig HD no matter how fast your pc is:P

Hello all,

I think that you have all forgotten one element that can also increase ripping speed considerably: dvd-rom drive speed. Having been able to compare an 8x drive with a 16x drive, I can guarantee that this plays a major part. CPU speed is important, but not considerably, and last but not least, I do agree that HDD speed can make a difference, although if you have 18gigs of free space, chances are ur HDD is fast enough...
That said, I wouldn't buy a new drive in the hope that it will rip DVD's faster, since even though the speed increase is notable, its not worth forking out on.

Take care

poopyhead,

but if we get back to the root of the question.. the one you originaly called me on.. i am right, and you are wrong. you poopyhead!

everyone else here is in agreement, so tuck your dick between your legs and let your dog eat your ass out, fuckhole

[poopyhead]

jeex,

shut the **** up....no one cares if you're here

and, going back to the original post...the mention of "dropped frames" refers to encoding, not ripping

[silab]

easy guys

with this question, harddrive space is more important than CPU

I suggest you use Cinemacraft encoder if you will do SVCDs.

Or better yet, use DVD2SVCD (which uses Cinemecraft).

On one of my machine (pentium 3 at 500) which isnt that far from your CPU, I can do a whole DVD rip to encoding and everything except burning to cds in under 8 hours using CBR encode and not VBR. The quality wouldnt be that far from VBR.

So your CPU should be fine :) You should just be aware of which tools to use :)

[jeex]

poopyhead.

ha ha ha.. everyone agree's with me, and not with you. i am right and you are wrong. now go suck on your uncle's poleeeeee.

hahahahah

[poopyhead]

jeex, no one agrees with you....go elsewhere

[chiphead]

Instead of jawjacking in here about who is right or wrong maybe one or more of you could help me crack this green video problem with TMPG? I'm new and don't mean to stir the pot but I sure could use some help.

with sugar on top?

[Flesh-G-]

Dear Silab,
CCE (so dvd2svcd) won't work an a celly. I've had one but it really doesn't work. The only decent alternative is tmpg-enc, use vcd (lowres) if you don't want to miss your pc a whole week. So yes it is possible to rip dvd on a celly: I did it with smartripper-dvd2avi-tmpgenc. Result: very nive vcd's.

Briefly, a 500MHz processor will work fine for DVD Rips. I had an AMD K6-2 500 and that was OK. However the encoding speed will be quite slow ... about 14 hours for a 2 hour movie with normal motion search in TMPGenc. You will need about 8 gig of free HD space, but the drive speed doesn't matter, although it does help if you Defrag it once in a while.

[likwid8]

Thnxs all of yuo for all your help, and I never knew it would be 10+ hpurs for a DIVX, i was expecting a lot longer? but heck, my main concern was that I wanted to create DVD-R, and the DVD burner is not an issue, my friend got a dvd burner, but on top of all this, you guys answered all of my question and I am gratefull, but I would also like to add, TMPGEnc is the best or CCE? thnxs

I have an even slower system. An AMD K6-2/350, but I do have a 30gig drive. Works fine, just slow as could be. About 24 hours for a 2 hour film.

[stanwebber]

to use cce you need a cpu with the sse instruction set(pentium3, celeron2, athlon). tmpgenc will work with mmx extensions(pentium pro&up). if speed is your main criteria, cce wins the contest hands down. if quality is more your concern then it is a matter of preference as with anything. on a celeron 533a @ 800mhz i can get up to .85 realtime in cce on simple dvd-rips

[m_lea1]

well guys i think that you will find that the cpu speed is the biggest aspect of the of the dvd encoding. i know first hand that i am correct i had a amd k6 400 and it was basically a piece of shit. when you try and encode the audio and the video go way out of sync and you cant get a decent resolution well not if you dont want to be wait days and days for the movie to finish.

The best thing to do is go to your garage

Look around real hard, now make sure you squint to cuz more than likely it's late and you didn't want ya girl thinking you were crazy.

Put your hands out...DON"T TURN ON THE LIGHT! Keep looking...

Your gonna see a nice shiny, polished up, solid iron baseball bat.

You're gonna put this bat in your hands. Both of em, if you closed the door behind ya you're gonna have to bust through, **** trying to be quiet.

NOW RUN.. YES RUN.. GO to that room where that piece of crap computer sits in and then you're gonna stop!

SLowly creep up inch by inch and then. . . BEAT THE COMPUTER! BEAT IT DOWN ! BEAT IT BEAT IT BEAT IT

Hope it works out for ya man ;)
