Other Slow ripping speed

[Cryton]

Hello all

I have a Mac Pro 2009 defiled with Windows 10 The CPU is a 6(12) core 3.4Ghz Processor and the gfx card is a Geforce GTX970. I have upgraded to the latest driver and I have updated DVDfab to the latest version as well (9.2.2.3). I have enabled CUDA support and allowed DVDfab to utilize all core.

The DVD drive is an Internal HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSB0

I have chosen to rip my collection of DVDs with h.265 and mp4. Two pass conversion and as high number of pixels I can get. Yet it takes about 3-4 hours to convert a DVD.

This seems a bit slow from what I read. Or am I just going way over what is needed for a good DVD rip?

Hope anyone can give me some help here!

Merry Christmas
Thomas

I forgot to write the the ripping speed is sometimes below 20fps and up to about 28fps.

What method are you using to run the Windows version on your Mac? Please post a DVDFab internal log session from one of theses conversions that ran slowly.

It sounds like it may not be utilizing the nvidia card for part of the process. I think some of what you are doing is overkill for DVD sources. Try one without 2-pass and without trying to upscale the frame size, it will never look any better than the original source and most players will upscale it on-the-fly during playback if necessary.

Hello Signals

Thank you for a swift reply. I will try some of the things you suggested as well. I am not an expert at any rate on this so that leaves me a bit in the dark what the native scale is - but I would guess it's about 720x574p at the max. DVDfab does not indicate what the orginal scale is from what I can see.

But here is a log from one of my sessions:

DVDFab's Ripper module uses the decoded original frame size, so the suggestion that DVDFab makes is usually the best choice for balancing the tradeoffs of file size/video quality/conversion time and other factors.

In the future, please use the Manage Attachments button to upload text file versions of your logs rather than posting them within the text editing window. This is explained in the Posting logs tip linked in my sig, below.

Update just tried a rip with the settings you suggested. It seems that for some reason CUDA is disabled when doing 2 passes. But with one pass, still high quality and 1020x576 Resolution. DVDfab blasted though the ripping with a max speed of 356fps.

It's also possible to choose CRF.

I will play with the settings and try to find what works for me.

Any explanation why there is no CUDA support for 2-pass encoding?

Best regards,

Thomas

Good, glad to hear it. The effect of the settings varies with playback methods and is highly subjective in any event, so experimentation is the best solution, always erring slightly to the side of higher quality. A good test movie is one with lots of horizontal pans and fast motion, both highly stressful on both encoding and playback.
