The few times I've attempted to rip one of my DVDs, I was discourage by the 2 Hour + wait (using Handbrake on reasonably beefy Windows 7 Box) - I've been tempted (though, never actually followed through) to just repurchase some of my more popular DVDs on iTunes just to avoid having to go through that pain.
How long did it take you to rip those 74 shiny discs?
- sp332 14y agoIt does take a while. I have a fairly fast drive but it still takes 2 hours for some BDs. I definitely wouldn't recommend doing it right when you want to watch the movie :) Generally I put it in right when I'm about to go somewhere else, so it's done or close to done when I get back. For the 7-disc Ghost in the Shell series, I just did it over 2 days, swapping out discs whenever I happened to remember. Of course I also installed Win95 on floppy discs back in the day, so maybe I'm just crazy :)
- JoshTriplett 14y agoIn my case, I keep finding discs with flaws in them that fail during ripping but not during playback. (And no, not intentional defects introduced for copy protection; unintentional defects introduced by playing them way too often. Should have ripped them when new.)
- epochwolf 14y agoI've got a retina macbook pro. (with the external dvd drive) I can rip DVDs with handbrake in anywhere from 9 minutes to 45 minutes. I'm not sure why some DVDs of the same relative length require more time than others.
- grecy 14y agoEvery time I think about doing that, I find I can download a copy of the movie I already own in less time than it takes me to think about ripping my own copy.
