Hello, I am a newbie so I will apologize for my question in advance if it is somewhere else on the forum. I have a 1ghz with 128mb system, and have just been trying out dvd shrink, it is taking roughly 5-6 hours to rip and burn! is this normal? I used to use DVDxcopy xpress but I keep getting errors using it and last night using it ripped for about 1.5 hours and the last minute it came with a error that said "sector error" or something like that. So used dvd shrink to backup. any help would be greatly appreciated... Billiam
Hey Billiam, welcome to the "club" I am also a Newbie, but I hope this helps a little: I am running a 1.7ghz 512mb system, and I have a 16X burner... However, I can only burn at 4X with my CD's. I am also using DVD shrink, and my encoding takes the longest for me, anywhere from about an hour to 3 1/2 hours so far. That's just encoding. It seems to vary from Disc to Disc for me, even if the size is about the same. You have to remember, if you are ripping a dual-layer disc, it will take longer than a single-layer disc will, and in either case, you're (usually) burning around 4Gb each time. that's quite a bit of info. But keep at it, it'll come down to a science for you.. it has for me already. See ya around
on a fairly new system....4x should average around an hour, 8x should avg around 1/2 hour. again like previous post stated.....some discs just flat out take more time. scratches/damage will extend the time to encode too...
Depends on a lot of things, system, discs, burner, movie file size. Are you using "deep anaylsis" that at least doubles your time?
