How long does it take you guys to rip and burn?

[cmusngi29]

Hey guys,

just wondering how long it takes you guys to back up a DVD. What methods do you guys personally use. Let me and everyone else know! Thanks.

[babyboo]

For me...ripping takes around 15 minutes, burning around 14 minutes at 4x...the deep analysis and shrinking take 3 hours combined since I have a dinosaur for a computer.

[digitaltree]

20 mins transcode and 12 mins burn using Intervideo + 4X burner + 4X media.

[Carolina Mike]

Ripping 12-15 minutes
Deep analysis and encoding 18-20 minutes
Burning 15-18 minutes

Just did a backup of a standard Movie this afternoon. (Was about 7GB to start).

Using CloneDvd 2:

14minutes to rip/"process" to the hard drive.

15minutes to burn to a 4x disc at 4x on the drive.

Total time clocked in a hair under 30minutes

It varies..

DVD-5 I can typically rip and burn in under 30 minutes total burning at 4X with DVD Decrypter

DVD-9 I rip and transcode on the fly with DVDShrink, 30 minute rip most of the time, just under 15 to burn

These are only when its a full DVD-R though.

[cmusngi29]

I use Decryptor to rip which takes around 25 to 30 minutes

I use Shrink to encode which takes around 30 to 45 minutes

and I use Copy to DVD to burn which takes around 15 minutes.



is there any reason why mine takes so long to rip and encode while you guys do it a heck of a lot faster?

[DeleriumMDK]

I have AnyDVD running also, which I believe unlocks the ripping speed. My gf's PC with the same DVD burner as mine rips at 4 or 6 max, I hit as high as 11 sometimes on DVD-5's.

Edit: As far as DVDShrink goes...I have 1GB of RAM, it does help.

[cmusngi29]

How do you unlock the ripping speed?

[shelbyGT]

Just ripping: 5-7 minutes
Deep Analysis and ripping: 20-28 minutes
Burning 15 minutes.

[aggies11]

It depends on how you "rip".

You can save a step (copying files to your HD via DVD Decrypter) if you use a program like AnyDVD. It does the decryption "on the fly". Meaning your transcoder (CloneDVD, DVDShrink etc) can do it's job right from the DVD.

Average movie with clonedvd from go to whoa=28 Min's.

Where do you get the program for "AnyDVD?" Also, what do you mean by decryption on the fly?" And last what do you mean that it can do it's job right from the CD? Here are the methods I use.

Decryptor = 25 minutes
Shrink = 35 to 40 minutes
CopytoDVD = 15 minutes

What can I do to speed up my ripping and encoding speeds without sacrificing quality? let me know. Thanks.

"How long does it take you guys to rip and burn?"

at first, I thought the title of the thread was an invitation for Vikings to discuss their tactics

Hail Odin!

[HAMP]

I use CloneDVD with AnyDVD and it takes anywhere from 23 mintues to 28 mintues from the time I put the original movie in the reader until I take it out of the burner.

And I say

DAAAAAAAAAYMN thats a long time

[tweedledee]

I reckon after 3 hours of "deep analysis" you wouldn't know the difference, unless maybe you were playing it on a large Plasma screen.

[SoCalMK]

The quickest method I use takes about 50 minutes.

20 minutes to rip to hard drive (DVD Decryptor)
15 minutes to resize and strip menus and extra features (DVD2ONE)
15 minutes to burn (Nero 5.9 with Ritek G04 4x)

This is the first method I ever used, and still do when I'm pressed for time. These days I usually do a full dvd backup using Intervideo DVD Copy. With my old computer this process usally takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

[Hardcoreruss]

Shrink and Burn about 25 mins.

[pelsamra]

I don't understand how some of you are ripping in 20 min. It takes me about an 1 hour and 5 min to finish the job. Am I doing something wrong? My burning time is normal at around 20 min, while ripping and shrinking is taking a whole 1 hour and a half. I have the DMA enabled as well as the latest firmware. Is it my slow ass computer running at 1 ghz, with 512 kb of memory, or just the program I'm using to compress and rip (DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter)?

[urbanlegend]

* Rip 10-15mins (depending on condition of disc)
* Remove any titles with Titleset Blanker that are not needed
* 15-20 mins Shrink
* 20 mins burn with ImgTool Classic Iso Creator/DVD Decryptor burn

Yes it is your pc.

Hey guys,

just wondering how long it takes you guys to back up a DVD. What methods do you guys personally use.

~15 minutes to rip
~15 minutes to burn

I use DVDshrink and Nero6.xx. I put the DVD to rip in the DVD ROM, and the DVD to Burn in the DVD burner. Normally I just select the movie in DVDshrink ( autthor mode) and it does the rest

Why make life more complicated than it has to be

Check out AnyDVD 3 here (hopefully that autolinked itself)

"CD" was a typo, heh. I meant DVD. Here's the long and short of it: DVD's files are encrypted. They are no use to any program in this state, unless they are "decrypted". So a straight copy of the files off the DVD leads to useless files.

DVD decrypter's purpose then is to decrypt the files, and copy the result (the now useful files) onto your hard drive so that they can be used by another program.

So what AnyDVD is, is a program that runs in the background. It "decrypts on the fly", meaning that it unlocks the DVD itself, so any programs looking at the files on the DVD see them as already decrypted! It essentially "tricks" windows into thinking you are using an unencrypted DVD. What this means is that a program that needs unencrypted dvd files (eg CloneDVD) can just get those files right from the disc itself.

So the step of decrypting files to the hard drive, is obsolete. Remember, these transcoding programs don't care where they get their files from to do their work. They only care that they are decrypted. Traditionally we had to use DVD Decrypter and copy the files to the Hard Drive to do that. But now with AnyDVD you don't have to.

So if you are making a "one shot" backup (ie. one time only) you can run anyDVD in the background and just use clonedvd. For me thats 15mins to copy and 15mins to burn.

Regarding your copying speed: There are two factors - the speed at which you can rip info from the DVD itself; and the speed that you can write that data back to your computer (Hard drive).

ARe you using a DVD writer as your reading drive? Or a plain DVD-ROM drive? Some writers (for example, my pioneer a06/106!) artificially limit the speed at which they read. (Mine was 2x, so like 35minutes to rip a dvd!). To remedy that you need a modified firmware that removes this artificial restriction (I got mine from www.rpc1.org) DVD rom drives don't typically have this limitation.

If you rip with DVD decrypter, what speed does it say it's ripping at?

Then there is the copy to your computer part. How old is your hard drive? Is it 5400 or 7200 RPM? Do you know what DMA mode it uses? (You can usually see that at your bios startup screen when it detects your drives. Eg DMA 3, DMA-5, etc)

CPU speed might not be that much of a factor. Afterall, the whole point of DMA is to reduce the load on the processor. When I do a drive to drive copy in windows, I only get 10% usage (90% of the cpu is being unused) on my Athlon XP 2000. A 1Ghz machine probably shouldn't be maxed out by it. How much memory do you have?

Hope that helps

Does cloneDVD compress as well? Also, I have a liteOn 16x for ripping and a LG 4040B burner with the latest firmware. I only rip from the liteon. I'll try the AnyDVD/CloneDVD method. I have the DNA option enabled, but I have a really old hard drive 40GB. When using DVD Shrink it says reading at 1,666 Kb/s.

Thanks

[Thunder In Paradise]

Using DVDShrink, with DA, around 20min., without DA, 7min.

[noki]

12 mins burn using Intervideo + 4X burner + 4X media

think your watch is running SLOW

Wow...I don't feel so bad now. I rip with my Samsung CD-R/DVD Rom Combo drive (which I thought was slow) but I'm usually able to rip with DVDDecrypter in 20 minutes or less as well.
OK....you talked me into it...I'll keep it.

[tweedledee]

Yes, it does.

[jbelder]

About 50 mins round trip. 10 - 15 mins to rip about 30 to 45 transcode and burn

[cd090580]

About 25-30 minutes to rip DL disk (+/- 2.7x), 15 min for SL disk
About 1.2x movie duration for shrinking (double if deep analisys)
15 minutes for bruning (at 4x)
