Blu Ray rips

[f22warzone]

Got him sorted out ..... buy/build a cheap computer with a capable graphics card so he can mount the iso directly and use powerdvd to play them over DVI to HDMI out convert plug and then HDMI to the TV : ) plus the ability to serf the net on a plasma tv : )

i got the "ripping" sorted out.

i have successfully ripped 2 blu-rays so far. takes the original file of ~35GB *and* the dolby digital audio and rips it/shrinks it down to ~8-10GB.

one major problem...

it takes about 16 hours!!!

i think im just gonna build a bare bones quad core system just for this purpose. the quality of the rip is the EXACT same as the original blu-ray.

i am using a 3.2Ghz dual core w/ 4GB DDR2 now. im thinking that quad core and double memory (although more processor intensive than memory intensive im sure) should cut this down to a more manageable time of about 6-8 hours. (maybe even less)

This would speed it up

Hi Marc if you really want to rip then buy a good GPU GTX 275 or 285 or 295, this will speed up your ripping almost 10 times also 8 - 10GB is still super large, what codec are you using and what resolution, normally it should be arround 4.4GB that is really good quality.

hehe, I think our data center is bigger

i dont care about playback from my PC for the blu-rays. i am just using the PC to rip and store. therefore a GPU shoulndt matter should it? the computers processor is whats doing all the work isnt it?? or does the graphic card get involved in the rippiing also??

will a quad core 3+ Ghz make a noticeably big difference in ripping compared to my dual core? i am under the impression that it will make a fairly large difference.

is that your garage?

thats what i am talking about with the new GPU and CUDA which is the framework witch can access the power of the GPU, massive parallel computing, is possible, so yes the GPU actually does all the work, not the CPU. Since the GPU can and will be up to 10 times faster then the CPU.

I am guessing you getting about 25 - 40% more speed in ripping from a dual core to a quad core...

do a google search on CUDA, GPU and ripping... if you have questions let me know.
