Holy crud!!!

I dont know if it is because the latest version of DVD Fab or me updating my video drivers...
But I used to compress a 50GB DVD down to 25GB in about 6 to 7 hours.

I just backed up my first bluray since updating both things above... and I just compressed a 50GB movie down to 25GB in about 20-30min!!!



Cant wait to try another one when time permits.
Was it just a fluke? I dont know. But it was fast.

Did U watch it

Sounds fantastic! What are your PC's specs?

[Rich86]

Sounds far too good to be true imho. I suggest you check your source and created target carefully.

[dgrams]

PC specs suck.
Core 2 duo 2.13
4 gb ram
win7 32 bit
nvidia 9800GT

mounted the images and it plays fine.
It was my shawshank redemption bluray. Did a movie only conversion from 50 to 25gb, and kept hd audio

I'll have to try another blu ray in the next few days.

I noticed Fab is using every bit of my extra ram.I have 3 gigs of Ram on the CPU (Computer uses about a gig of ram running windows and my background programs leaving 2 gigs to work with) during a 50 gig to 25 gig convert at one point I was down to 44mb on the CPU with the GPU using very little of its 2 gigs of ram up to 17% or so.That's using cuda for decoding and GPU acceleration for video encoding enabled.It doesn't use no where near this much memory decoding 3d disks which take a lot longer 10,5 hours on my system.

On my 2 core system it's not any faster about 6 hours for 50-25 gig conversion and still 10.5 hours for full 3d 50-25 gig conversion.I also downloaded latest card GT630 firmware.I am using vista home.You have a few more cuda cores i think you have 112 i have 96 cuda cores.
My system:
ADM Athlon 64x2 4450e core speed=2310.54 mhz DDR2 3gigs memory
video card has DDR3 memory 2 gigs that hardly gets used.

If theirs a way to make this system work faster with Fab I sure would like to know.

I dont know.. maybe it was something with this one movie perhaps?

I will try tonight to rip and convert another and see what happens if time permits.

Maybe it was just a fluke, but yes.. the movie did complete correctly and is playable.

Sounds like the main movie didn't need compressing at all, it was already small enough so it was a straight copy. Your system isn't capable of compressing a movie that fast.

[martythebrit]

By the way, you need to go to Windows 7 x64, 1GB of your ram isn't being used in 32 bit Windows.

[dgrams]

Lol.. Marty you guessed it...

I just fired the stuff up and ripped Star Trek and the compression ran slow.

I looked closer at my shawshank redemption and yes.. it didnt need compressing. LOL. Doh!

I thought it was too good to be true.

Good guess.

BTW, I don't need to go to Win7 64, becasue I dont have a 64bit processor - plus its only 3/4 of 1GB that is not used... not 1GB.

[martythebrit]

I assume you have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400, this is a 64 Bit chip and will run Win 7 x64.
