How much time would it approxmiately take to rip a DVD using this method on a 5-10 year old computer.
I know that it is vague question, but is the ballpark - a couple of minutes, hours or are we looking at days ?
- slowbdotro 5y agoAbout 20-60mins per disc. DVDs are mostly 4.7GB, and the decryption takes less than a couple seconds. So the speed Ian usually how fast you can read the disc
- ab_testing 5y agoThanks. That is a very reasonable amount of time.
- NavinF 5y ago> are we looking at days Worst case scenario, the drive can only read the disk at playback speed. So a 2 hour movie could take 2 hours. In practice it will be much faster than that. Note that a 50GB Blu-ray that plays for 2 hours is only 56mbps on average. So you won’t be limited by decryption/disk/network speed even on a very old computer that writes to a single HDD on your NAS over 100mbps Ethernet. If you want to transcode to make the file size smaller, don’t bother. An old computer will take ~20 hours to encode 2 hours of HD video unless you’re fine with YIFY level quality.
- thrdbndndn 5y agoRipping (copying) speed totally depends on your drive's speed, but for a 2-hour movie it would take no more than an hour, probably much less. Transcoding is more time consuming, but for DVD resolution (480p or similar) it will be about the same as playback time (so 2 hr) or faster for an "5-10 year old computer" using x264+default slow setting.
- prvc 5y agoThe total time will be dominated by the encoding phase, and the length of that step will heavily depend on the encoder and settings used. A better strategy would simply be to archive the complete decrypted disk image, which can be done in ca. 15 minutes per disc.
