Read process takes forever

bits

[QUOTE=Molok;15585]Hi,

I am new at this forum. I just bought a lifetime licence of DVDFab Blu ray to Blu Ray. I use the latest beta 6.2.1.6. I have a HP Pavilion laptop, Windows XP and a LG BE08LU20 as external reader/burner.

The problem is that some back ups takes forever, that is 8-9 hours with a bit rate about 1.00 MB/s. I only do Main Movie and have the set up BD 25GB 1080p.
Has that anything to do with copy protections? I don't get any error messages. But the read process is so slow. But not on every back up however. When all is well, the read process takes about 40 minutes. Have no problems during analyzing and writing.

Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
What are the specs for your laptop? If the file is to large then DVDFab will re-encode it. If that happens the process can take hours. It takes my Desktop PC 7-8 hours to re-encode a BD. See my signature for my PC specs. The Q9550 is a 2.83 Intel Quad core with 3Gb of 1066 RAM.

If you do not want re-encoding then set DVDFab to BD50.

One way to check if re-encoding is taking place is to check the load on your CPU. If it is in the high 80s and 90s then the BD file is being re-encoded.

Hi molok,
Another option is ( you said the disc size was under 25 GB ) so like crackinhedz said create a folder, I set mine in My Documents, with the name of the movie rip the full disc to your HDD,

if you have ImgBurn installed open this up, go to "Write files/folders to disc".

Now go to your folder where your movie is, open the folder drill down till you come to BDMV + Certificate,

drag both of these files to the ImgBurn window that you opened earlier put your disc in the drive, when drive sees the disc then you are ready to burn.

[QUOTE=Molok;16388]But there is a folder called BDMV with a lot of other folders within.[/QUOTE]
Use the Folder that contains the BDMV and Certificate. :)

Take crackinhedz's advice BDMV + certificate.

[QUOTE=Complication;16441]No, the RIP process should be 45 min or so. The 8-9 hours is because it was trying to compress it. It should be faster, less ware on the BD drive, and maybe work better if you do the 2-step process of rip first to remove the encryption and copy protection and then compress in a second pass.[/QUOTE]

In that case I, hopefully, can speed up the process. I will try that with movies bigger than 25GB. Thanks!

This problem seems to happen only when the Mainmovie is bigger than 25 GB (I might have been unclear there). But I will try to handle this via the 2-step process suggested by Complication.
And yes, I do have ImgBurn installed, wich I always use together with DVDFab.

Given your processor specs, an encode time in excess of 6 hours for Blu-Ray would be expected when compression is needed (greater than 25G). Blu-Ray images are quite large and take a lot of processor power and I/O throughput.

Well, that explains the slow read process. Do you think more RAM can speed it up? I think I can put in max. 4GB.

Maybe, but I doubt it would be by much.
