ratDVD convert the menu, but then gets to 1% completion of the actual movie and does nothin else after that. does it take a long qhile to convert ratDVD>DVD? or am i having problems? thanks
Does anyone want to help this guy or is this another useless site providing useless program help? why is it freezing? I cant beleive the people at afterdawn.com have made you wait all night and no one has yet responded to him. Why is this forum even active? Is RATDvD a crap program or what?
Rat dvd takes lots of time to convert as it converts one frame at a time as regading the program freezing try to reinstall the program if you want to use the program start the program before you retire for the nite
Yea, i went to the irc server and found this out already. 10 hours for some people, i guess it has to do with your pc as well. It took me a few hours to download the movie, now i have to wait 10+ hours mabe even 20 hours. Thats unacceptable, I think ill pass on this RatDvD for now. There is no way im going to wait this long to view a movie. id rather re-download as Xvid or something. There isn't even any help in the program. Why do people release stuff without a help file? Bugs, Bugs and more Bugs.
What computers do you guys have? On my P4 2,8Ghz it is about real time - 2-3 hours for a usual DVD. From what I know this is about normal on an up to date system...
What made the largest help to me in increased speed using RatDVD was to defragment my hard drives first! It is really amazing how many folks will not do that on a regular basis (aheam... like me!), then wonder why things run so slow. After placing the DVD that is in RAT format, on a defragmented hard drive, then opening the files to a unfragmented hard drive, in creased my "decoding speed" by almost 50%/ ALso remember that a high speed CPU is also recomended! I am using a 2GB Celeron w/ 1.5GB ram, and could not at first understand why it was taking so long. Then I went back to their site and took the time to read up about the product. Even tho it seems slow to me, I am shocked by the high quality results, and will continue to use it just before I go to bed, then in the morning, its all done!
IF I defrag, IF I don't have any other programs running, IF I buy a new computer, IF I hire the old LooneyToon Cartoonists to draw frames, IF, IF, Any "new" codec/software, etc. should be an improvement over what's out there by either being quicker (ratDVD, yeah right), higher quality (if compared to an Mpeg 1 file) or have any reason for its existence - I can't think of any for ratDVD. Since the advent of Divx 6.0 & even Xvid's (MPEG-4 Technology) & Divx DVD Players, converting to a 10 year+ old technology (namely MPEG-2's or VOB files) makes zero sense. Absolute waste of time & hopefully no one else will be foolish enough to waste everybody's time by using this "insane" software/codec on a torrent again. You can likely tell that I'm REAL happy to have mistaken "ratDVD" as an otherwise cool name for what I thought was another torrent site or torrent originator rather than a step back to the 20th century when 14K modems ruled, because the early 90's is where this software belongs, likely would have worked well with Windows 3.2 & Navigator 1.0 because it sure can't keep up with today's software &/or computers.
