i ripped a DVD in under 20 mins the other day.. it does not take long at all - i think it depends on ur dvd rom in ur comp and its speed... (i think)

not sure about ur ripping question tho... do you mean if you rip a dvd and then burn with a dvd-r? so you would be doing a 1-1 copy or do you mean some kinda conversion i.e vcd etc...??


burning ... again do you mean dvd-r or a cdr?

Prob won't happen. most dvd's are too large for current dvd-r disks. So 1:1 copies are impossible unless the dvd you are ripping is very small.

this site here has tons of tutorials explaining how to cut the size or how to push it to two discs

Gotcha now. I thought you were wanting to do an exact copy of the DVD. No compression or cutting. The 1:1 threw me off.
