Ripping DVDs

Something's set wrong. My 800mhz would take about 10 hours if I remember right. It might be easier to copy the vob to your hdd and compress it from there. Different codecs and compressions take longer too.

You might take one of the smaller vobs off the dvd, like a preview or the fbi warning (lol) and experiment with it. Keep changing the settings and re encoding it until it takes a shorter time to get a good result.

 

LMAO...most mine take about 25 minutes to convert, then 10 to burn. If I try and burn it on the laptop burner, it takes forever. So I rely on an external burner.

I'm doing just the opposite of you though, Converting AVI to a usable DVD format, then saving the project for future use.

 

Yup, that sounds like something vlc would do.

 

I use a FREE "utility" to RIP DVD's. It cracks the copy protection. Then I use a different FREE program to convert the VOB files to a useful MP4 file for storage on an external hard drive.

GOOGLE: "DVD Decrypt" to "crack" a DVD. You will have to "look" for it. The originator (17 year old kid) was sued by SONY, so "HE" doesn't "possess" the program any more, but you can still find it.

GOOGLE: "HANDBRAKE" to convert the files to usable video files. You can even convert the files to H.264 format (if the original DVD was in HD)

 

That's a bit odd. Dvd's don't come in HD.

 

That's funny..........
They come in SD (Standard Definition), HD (HiDef), and BlueRay HD.......

 

Well, 4:3 (SD), 16:9 (Widescreen), and Blueray (HD). They might stamp HD on a regular dvd to get you to buy it but that doesn't mean it holds more than the standard 7GB of information. Kinda like they did on my junk walmart video camera.

 

I must be buying the cheap ones...######. Mine won't hold but 4.7
