Time it takes to make a vcd?

[vishalsisodiya]

Hey, if you guys could help me out....

Overall, how long does it take to rip a dvd and convert it to vcd....to be playable in my dvd player? thanks in advance.

This question cannot be answered just like that.

How long something takes is dependent on your own system, how long the movie is which you are ripping, which ripping tools you are using, which encoder you are using and to what you are ripping it to.

Depends on your PC. I have a P3 866Mhz and it takes me an average of 6 hours.

about 3 days

day 1 .... rip the dvd and audio
day 2 .... encode about 1/2 of the audio and video
chapter by chapter (15 chapters or so)
day 3 .... finish encoding the movie and burn to cd

KeithDVD must be having a laugh !!! Though it does depend on your system specs < I have ripped vobs to file then encoded to vcd a 90 min film thats playable on my DVD in about 4 hours using FlaskMpeg.

that amount of hard drive space left is under 2gig so i cannot do the whole movie at once only a few chapters at a time. so it takes a few days unfortunately

Some of you people are doing this ass backwards, pardon my french... if done correctly, you can rip a DVD to VCD in 4-8 hours... this obviously depends on your system though, I have a celeron 667 overclocked to 1050 MHz, with 128MB PC133 SDRAM, a 12x Toshiba DVDRom, and 60B free space... I find that the software these days is so much better than before... there are only 2-4 steps these days, whereas a year ago, you had to go through about 8-10 steps ^_^
