Best Amount Of Space?

[druggedsociety]

Hello. Im new to DVD to SVCD Ripping. I tried it once and (HAHA) I ran out of HD space. I h ave a 40gig, but have many mp3's which I am qucikly burning to CD as fast as I can but its slow. I was wondering, I have 16gig of HD space right now, and I was wondering if that would be enough space to rip a FULL DVD to SVCD. Is it? Or should I make more space? And Im told that I should use DVD2SVCD and CCE or TMPG.
But Those two encoders BOTH leave marks in the movie? Can I get a "watermark" free encoder like CCE or TMPG. Just as good? Thanks Guys.

16 gigs is plenty. typical vobs around 5-8 gig. .wav file extracted by dvd2avi around 1.5 gig. your resulting .mpg around 2-4 gig. so, 16 gig should be plenty. i'm only considering the movie. if you wanna rip extras, try doing the movie first, then deleting all the movie files, and then work on the extras.

neither of those encoders leave a watermark
