    BD Ripper (3D Plus) What hardware is needed to encode blu-ray mkv >23.976 FPS

    Good day all.

    When I convert my blu-ray movies to mkv, my system can only encode at around 8-10fps, so take 4-5hours.

    I am using a Intel Quad-Core Q6600 running at stock 2.4Ghz.

    What sort of hardware would I need to be able to encode the videos at or faster then real-time (>23.976 FPS).

    Thanks for your time.

    Best Regards.

    All you probably need is a mid-grade good CUDA-enabled videocard. I would suggest nVIDIA 250-295 range. Manufacturer is your personal preference, mine is MSI. Your processor is powerful enough to maintain and manage parallel processing (GPU acceleration). I also would recommend to have at least 6 GB memory...
    I have one of the earliest i7's and GTX 295 card and it gives me around 50 fps in average. Your system with CUDA card should produce in neighborhood 35-40 fps, which will give you around 1 hr in average per movie.

      Ah so the GPU is ment to take most of the load while encoding.

      Here are more of my systems details.

      Motherboard: XFX 680i SLi.
      Processor: Intel Quad-Core Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz.
      Memory: 2x1GB Corsair (CM2X1024-6400C4).
      Pri HDD: Seagate 250GB SATA (ST3200827AS).
      Sec HDD: Seagate 500GB SATA (ST3500320AS).
      Media HDD: WDC 1.5TB SATA (WD15EARS-00Z5B1).
      Video Card: XFX nvidia GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB.
      OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit.

      I was looking at upgrading the video card soon anyways, I have been looking at the new nvidia GeForce 460 series cards.

        I get better speed on mine setting the decoding to CUDA and the encoding to software, but this varies with the original content. See what your drive's read speed is. Mine reads BDs at about 7 MB/s which is fast enough to encode BD->MKV at around 40fps, like Ipopov's. This is on a notebook with i7-820Q and low end GTS-230M video card. I also suggest more RAM. If you want DVD-like processing speeds, consider a mobo that supports DDR3 and lots of cooling.

          Well, I'm not sure why would you want to spend so much money on top of the line card, when mid-grade card will do the job and much cheaper.... What you desperately need is increase size of memory - 2 GB RAM is not nearly enough. Everything else is in good order.
          However, if you want to go crazy - build new machine with newest i7 processor, latest GTX480 card, 12 GB memory and fast 15000RPM harddrives. This will give you a modest speed increase (comparing to my suggestion in previous post)

            I would love to upgrade to an i7, but that is just not going to happen, I don't have that kind of spare cash floating around.

            I would not say £170.00 for a 1GB 460 is to bad in price, my 9600GSO cost more then when I brought new when it 1st came out.

            Just looking on the same site as the video card, They have 2x2GB for £70, any bigger and the price jump is just silly.

              Save your money on card and buy RAM. Buy 3x 2 GB

                If you really want speed, go with SSDs instead of HDDs and that GTX460. I would buy at least a 120gb SSD for a Windows boot drive though.
