I had a dual core Dell Optiplex 760. It had 8 gigs of DDR2 ram and a very good video card. It was a good system. Not great, but good.
I just purchased a Dell XPS8500 quad core computer with the 3rd generation i7 quad core processor in it. It has 12 gigs of DDR3 ram. The video card is a Radeon 7770. For the money that they charge for this thing, I was expecting a pretty powerful system.
The program that I use to back up DVD movies is "DVD Decrypter." My old PC could back up a 100 minute DVD in about 14 minutes. The new PC can back up the same movies in about 10 minutes.
That is a decent increase, but I was actually hoping for much more than that.
Perhaps the DVD Decrypter program does not make use of the extra cores??
The main reasons that I use DVD decrypter is that it is free and also easy to use. I know that it is an older program. If anyone has a suggestion for something that is free, easy to use, and FASTER than this, please let me know.
Thanks!
TC

There is a limit on how fast a DVD drive can read a DVD video disc. Sometimes its an artificially imposed limit, called "riplock".
[Edit]To see what a drive read speed 8X translates to in minutes, look at "DVD Read and Write Speeds" under "What is DVD" (a link for this on the upper left side of Video Help's pages).Last edited by usually_quiet; 1st May 2013 at 21:19.

Pretty well that's all you'll get when considering thorough put of interfaces isn't much different between those systems.
Speed may be increased if you can access a dvdrom with riplock disabled ... old liteons were best -
newer dvds have copy protection that DVD decrypter cannot handle. use dvdfab instead. dvdfab has a free version also.
-
If DVDDecrypter couldn't handle the disc the process would only take about 15 seconds since it can't handle the disc.

This gets my vote for the dumbest thread I've seen in a while. You got almost a 30% speed increase and your response is to bitch that it's not fast enough. Sorry princess, but there are limits to how fast you can rip. If you can't find something else to do for 10 minutes, then you have problems bigger than anybody here can solve (you might seek professional help with those).
Ripping has nothing to do with cores. You really do not understand anything about how this technology works.
DVDFab is no longer free, yet people like october262 continue to suggest here that it still is based on what they read years ago about it. If you want free, then you're stuck with DVD Decrypter, but don't come back complaining when it can't handle DVDs that use copy protection methods that came out after its last update. -
As far as i can tell the decrypter part of dvdfab is still free to use after the trial period according to their website.

The speed at which data can be read off the drive (limited by how fast the drive spins the disc) is the limiting factor here, not CPU speed.
-
Yeah. You may be able to remove Riplock on your optical drive with MCSE (MediaCodeSpeedEdit).
Pull! Bang! Darn! -
Add a second DVD drive and rip two discs at once!
I believe DVDFab will allow muliple instances. Your overall individual rip times may slow slightly, but you'll get a nearly double speed increase. If possible, use two different hard drives to ensure max throughput.
I do this with DVDShrink (99% of DVDs I rip are Asian and don't have elaborate copy protection) and I average 12 min per DVD (10 discs per hour) with two external DVD drives. Speed would be higher if the drives were internal.
I've run 3 and 4 drives at once, but keeping track of the disc swapping is too confusing and actually slowed down the process. -

Just stating the simple facts....
When I first read the OP before anyone replied I had to laugh and walk away because it is pretty ridiculous if you have even the slightest knowledge of how a PC & the process works.
Even with riplock removed by hacking the firmware and reflashing the drive, there is not going to be much if any improvement over 10 minutes.
I do it to every drive I buy for myself.
The funny thing is he states times but not what the software is reporting the rip speed at.......
And reports how long the movie is, not what size the disc is!!!
The length of the movie means NOTHING!!!!!!!
But seriously, you are not going to get any kind of instantaneous ripping!!
And if he is ripping a retail pressed DL dvd and is getting it done in 10 minutes......
Yet some more info left out I won't go into as it should be pretty obvious by now....
He is doing pretty damned good and just one of these I NEED IT NOW from the microwave generation!!
LOL!! -
Seems to me 10 minutes is pretty good, although I haven't fooled with DVDs in quite a while.
I bet dealing with Blu-Rays (ripping or burning) would really try your patience.Pull! Bang! Darn! -
