how long does it take you

for the ppl who have one dvd drive how long does it take you guys to back up a dvd..including backing it up on the computer..at 4x speed

 

The burn takes about 15min and about the same for the read. But now I have a 16x write it is very fast, like 4min to burn.

 

its taking me such a long time to encode and dycrypt it on my computer ..takes like 2hrs then i burn it that takes like 15min..why does it take such a long time

 

hi

what drive you got? does it have riplock set at 1.5x/2x ???

 

How long does it take me ? well the wife reckons 3 minutes tops. seriously, for me the backup takes 15 mins approx and the same for the burn.

 

i use the the method bmayo recomended.. scube pete or something... i use dvd dycripyter and shrinker..i have one dvd drive benq 1620 so i have to back it up on to my harddrive first..that takes forever..

 

i duno wat rip lock is or wats it set at

 

riplock is basically something that is set by the manufacturer on your drive which prevents fast ripping of the dvd to your hard drive... hence the name riplock...

However you can get round this with patched firmware - or spend £16 and buy a plain dvd rom drive...

 

im sure im not the only one with this problem how does everony else fix this problem

 

i dont think riplock has anything to do with encoding. i have the same long encoding probs

 

How do i find out if i have riplock?

 

Takes me about 1h to backup & rencode a dvd using dvdshrink.

 

Do a search on the make and model of your burner or check out CDFreaks. They have a very good DVD Drive section

thanks for tha info.

 

I rip with Shrink first, which takes roughly 19 minutes. Then I'll burn with Nero, typically around 2 minutes. I have my burner set to burn at 2X and I set Nero to burn at 2.4. I do not mind extra time to ensure I have a good quality back-up.

 

25 minutes for DVD Shrink to encode and 8-10 minutes for DVD Decrypter to burn for me.

 

anyone kno how to use the media code speed edit

 

What make and model dvdrw? Media code speed edit has nothing to do with ripping. It allows you to burn media at a faster speed than it is rated at. Most here don't burn over 4x even on higher rated media.

There are a lot of other factors that can cause slow encode times, cpu speed, amount and speed of ram, quality settings in shrink to name a few.

Do you rip useing dvd shrink or dvd decrypter first? How long does it take for just the rip? If you rip with dvd decrypter it will show the what speed it is ripping at. Different dvd's rip faster than others eg: a dvd without any css encryption will rip a lot faster than one with encryption.

I can make a backup with dvd shrink with no quality settings in about 20 min but can't stand the result when I watch it on my 52" big screen. A lot of folk here could care less about quality and all they want is speed. I don't even use dvd shrink anymore but rather RB/CCE because I want the best quality possible and am not concerned with speed. On average a backup will take a little over 2 hrs for a 7000-7500mb (6.8-7.3gb) vidio folder.

helnbrim, how can you burn with nero in 2 minutes ? are you sure you didn't mean 12 minutes ?

 

More like 20-25 min if burning at 2x or 2.4x
