So could I enquire, just a bit of learning here, what settings you used to create good quality movies on disk? Oh! and what sort of ripping speeds do you accomplish? With mencoder a 7gig DVD which is approx 3 hours generally rips in 40 minutes, My PC is a P4 2.4 533fsb with 512DDR ram @ 333fsb. My Hard disk is a 120 GB seagate 7200 rpm Barracuda. My DVD drive is an AOpen 16X I use copper alloy ATA166 cables and the drive are both tweaked running Ultra DMA 1 (Would love to know how to get Ultra DMA 3 going) My average tranfer speed via network is approx 6.5GB in 3 min 56 sec with scp. (Its faster to rip via the network than locally from dvd-rom) I am going to install dvd::rip tomorrow when time is more friendly and I'll get back to you then! cheers for now Chad
