Netflix and "Rental" Disks
ChadTower:
I still run two series II DirecTivos here. Great devices once you get content sharing reenabled on them. Can't transfer outside content onto them as drventure describes, though.

2.8ghz, 2gb ram. Just dropped my DVD of The Dark Knight in there and started DVDFab. Two hours fifty minutes. :laugh2:

Is there something wrong with your computer? It shouldn't even come close to taking that long to rip

That's seriously wonky. It shouldn't take fifty minutes on that machine, let alone two hours fifty. I'm guessing at the least you've got it set to double-pass rip, which takes twice as long as single pass (and doesn't yield nearly enough improvement to justify doubling the time, imo). Even at half the time, though, it's taking way longer than it should on that machine. My machine is 2.66 Ghz, though it's a Core i7 so it's a fast 2.66 Ghz. And I have a ton of RAM. Like I say, my rips usually don't take more than 10 or 11 minutes. You may not be running a Core i7, but it shouldn't be taking more than 15 times as long to rip a movie.
ChadTower:
That was the estimated time. Turns out the actual duration was 2:04. One pass conversion, fixed bitrate 1311kbps, audio 64kbps. Basically the default divx/mp3 settings. I wonder if this particular disc has extra encryption on it. Target hard drive is usb2.0, too. That could matter.
Just popped in Texas Chainsaw Massacre to test a movie with a lot less data and/or encryption. Estimated time an hour nineteen minutes.
It's a straight P4 2.8, I believe.
knave:
That P4 is not near as fast as that i7, I'd expect that P4 to rip a regular DVD in about an hour.
