CPU/GPU Please Help! SLOW Blu-ray Rip Speed

[ButlerDidIt]

Any and all help is very much appreciated!

My old machine was ripping incredibly slow-- so I bought a brand new machine. I was hoping to see at least a 25% time savings during the ripping process.

I am seeking advice on what I can upgrade (GPU, RAM, etc.) on my "new" machine to get the fastest rip times possible. I am currently only interested in ripping blu-rays as full disc back-ups to my internal hard drive.

MY OLD HP COMPUTER: ~45min/blu-ray

• Win7, 32-bit
• Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.4GHz
• 4GB RAM
• 500GB Hard Drive, 7200RPM
• Nvidia GeForce 7350 LE 512MB
• Blu-Ray 6X Read

MY NEW HP COMPUTER: ~43min/blu-ray

• Win7, 64-bit
• Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.6GHz
• 10GB RAM
• 2TB Hard Drive, 7200RPM
• Nvidia GeForce GT 630 2GB
• Blu-Ray 6X Read

The CPU is used very little duriing the ripping process. It is more a function of your I/O. The 7200 RPM drive is OK.

If you are compressing or transcoding, that is where the processor and video card have effect.

Only other area you may improve is a high-speed Blu-Ray reader.

Not really much else you can do.

Thanks for the quick reply, GregiBoy. My rips start at about 7-8MB/sec and get up to about 14MB/sec at the end of the process.

Do you mind sharing what rip times/speed you typically get?

[GregiBoy]

About the same.

Just my two cents

My drive also rips read max at 6X

However mine start at 4.10 MB/s and reach 21 MB/s in about 10 -15 minute.
