Blu Ray copy/write time

[blue ray]

Its taking 3-4 hours to do a full disk copy from a BR-50 to a BR-25? Wow!?Are you kidding?...... using LG WH10LS30

With out knowing your computer specs I would assume that is correct as you are compressing from a BD50 to a BD25 and that a lot of data and telling us just the Blu-ray drive is pointless with out the rest of your computer specs

[GregiBoy]

Nope, you are kidding without giving some specs as my good friend AGJ asked.

It is very processer intensive and if you are running it on a POS computer, POS times is what you wil get.

In actual fact. 3-4 hours is not that bad.

Are you copying to the HDD then compressing on the HDD that will save some time and your burner? And as stated above that is not a bad burn time!

........Q9550 quad cpu, 4 gb ram, Asus mother board, 4x BD-25.
okay....

What about the graphic/video card? is it on board graphics or seperate from motherboard?

[unknownbluray]

Ok so its not the old of a computer. I can honestly say your troubles lay in the fact your making your cpu do too much at once. try ripping the movie to the Hard drive, then after that convert the BD50 to BD25 and see if that speeds anything up. Also like AGJ asked what video card are you using? Onboards arent that good. I prefer Nvidia with cuda it makes a difference. However I do believe ATI graphics accelerator is now supported? I usually dont compress a BD50 to BD25, I always only do main movie.

vidoe card is zotac gt220, Quad CPU meter on gadget bar has all 4 cores around 85-90 % useage. It takes about the same amount of time if I write to a BD25 disk, or copy to a folder first and then convert to BD25.

Reading and writing the same hard drive/controller will also slow it down, regardless of CPU status. The GT 220/230 have low core count and do not really add much speed, I have the 230 with a i7 820 quad and the CPU ("all software" setting) is faster than CUDA for all tasks.

Hi All,

I had an old AMD 2 core system with CPU speed 3.00Ghz and frustrated with the speed so built a new machine to cut down these time:

New machine:
Intel Sandybridge 2600k at 3.4Ghz, 4 cores, HT
G.Skill 8GB 1600MHz memory
OCZ Vertex2 50GB SSD for OS and softwares,
Seagate 2T SATA III, 5900 rpm for data
PNY GT520

And still taking me 5-6 hours and nowhere to make the movie International from 50Gb to 25GB!
After seeing some postings, I changed codec to software instead of CUDA (if someone can explain that would be great!). Not sure how to improve these times.

You have to go with a high end card to get the best compression times. Also you want to compress on the HDD and in you case a 5900 RPM drive is pretty slow, there is a huge difference in speed between a 5900 and 7200 drive.

[real123]

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking of replacing the 5900 rpm to 7200rpm drive.
Can you please suggest video cards? Just moved from GT210 to GT520 after reading a post earlier. My budget is max 80-90dollars for video card.

Thanks again,

Just spent some time to read the reviews for some video cards with budgets.
Can anyone suggest which is to choose:

Zotac GTX550
or Galaxy GTX550

Thought I would share my times .. Personally have the following:

• Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 (built-in video)
• 4 x G. Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL (2Gx2) - 8gb Total RAM
• AMD 1090T CPU
• LG BH12LS35
• LG DVDRW
• 1 x 2tb Western Digital Green
• 2 x Western Digital Blue 500gb HDDs
• Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

I just started this BD Copy thing and that I was bad Ripping/Converting BD50 > BD25 takes about 1hr, then changing disc to a blank BD-R and burning takes me 30mins.
