Slow rip times

[Garry E]

Ahhh. Smart man me thinks

I tried it a couple of months back and it wouldn't run on my Windows 8 install.

I'm in no rush to swap over, version 8 does everything I need without issue, so I don't see the point.

I guess I'll change at some date in the future.

I always use the latest, no issues.

Your mileage may vary.

Just wondering why you are using version 8. Have you also had problems with 9?

He has an older i7 CPU so Quick Sync isn't an option.

Garry E: 8 & 9 can be installed at the same time, so you don't have to un-install 9.

Yeah thanks Marty I have had the both running before but like to keep things tidy so I ditched 8 when I thought I didn't need it anymore. Any particular 8 version you would recommend?

Yep you do my bad!

I think you just answered your own question, making an ISO image is a lot faster than compressing to an MKV. You should be using Intel Quick Sync for making MKV files it's way fast.

No you miss my point. I originally had MKV then ditched them for ISO. Now I am re ripping them to MKV but at a slower rate. I don't believe Intel Quick Sync is an option with my early model (lynfield) processor. I was under the impression you needed Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge for that

I've found when compressing a BD the size of the movie can make compression time vary a lot. A 40GB movie will take a lot longer than a 25GB for instance. And if you are not compressing you have a larger problem.

I am definately compressing. I run with pretty much the default settings for MKV audio copy so finished job turns out about 9 Gig. I don't think the length of the movie is the culprit as in some cases they are movies I have ripped before at much faster speeds. I ditched a lot of earlier rips when I got a new media player that handled BD ISO but now going back to MKV as the ISO is just not that much better to warrant the huge increase in disc space.

I was trying to figure out if you have a problem with DVDFab or your computer. If you reload 8 and the speed is back to the way it was, then all is good. If 8 is slow too, then you may have a computer issue.

Thanks Marty I guess I will have to give 8 a look at to see what happens. I don't think it's my computer as its blitzing everything else I do but still you never know there could be clash of driver or something. It gets a bit tiresome swapping from version to version to try and keep things running. It doesn't say much for the quality of this software in fact it seems to be in perpetual beta land and yet I paid a premium price for it.

Yes sorry about that but I am pretty dissapointed the way version 9 has turned out. Version 8 was going pretty good I thought and just needed finishing off but we seem to have turned the clock back with 9. I was hoping someone would tell me to tweak a setting not have to reinstall version 8 to get my speeds back up

Garry E, keep in mind this is the DVDFab forum.
