What Shrink says to start is an estimate, as the program runs it wll update the time. You should check the clock to get actual times.

Well thats good news because the more CPU time it gets the quicker the process can be completed.
I reckon your problem lies with transferring the data from the cpu to the hard drive. Maybe update drivers (including graphic) but id recommend checking cable config.
On my system i have dvd writer and dvd rom on one IDE cable and the harddrive on the other.If your setup is differant i think u should hook it up like mine just to narrow things down.
If that dont work im stumped mate !

My drives are all hooked up like yours, I took it apart and verified that just now.
All the rates and percentages I have given are for the anylisis when backing up, not when opening the DVD.
I am right now checking to see what the rate in shrink is when analysing. Ok I have done so and in the analysing stage when backing up it is around 4200 KB/s although it is up and down that seems to be an average. If important it also shows around 150 frames per second I will post after when I get to the encoding stage as to what it is at.

I am having the same problems that everyone else is having. I have DVD Shrink and decrypter. and processing takes about a minute. Thats fine. But the shrink part of a full movie with out subtitles takes me like 2 hours, and the decrpt takes about an hour and a half - is there something to speed these things up, or different programs that are better than these two?

Check for spyware, defrag, msconfig and file clean up.

My encoding rate is about 1365 KB/s It does fluctuate slightly . Analyzing when I open the disk takes about 2 to 3 minutes, analyzing takes 45 minutes, and Encoding took 2 hours and 16 minutes.
The above times are for Troy which I just did tonight.

Your encode rate was low. What was the compression.

The compression was 68.9 percent. And the entire process took exactly 3 hours and 22 minutes, which is slightly longer then average but Troy is a longer movie, but there are no special features on this disc either they are on a separate one.
Also I do have DVD Shrink 3.2

I use deep analysis and AEC setting and it takes me 45 mins from start to finish for a main movie backup.
sean5775 should be seeing better times.

I have done a few movies with that much compression. They did take longer, but never more than 90 mins.

Well Using that much compression has a pretty good impact on quality, i prefer on large movies only, Rip the DVD movie only , Compress to a Mpg4 xvid preferd , then Recode this to a DVD-5. A little time consuming but quality is perfect. Sorry for goin off the subject here.

Yes that was for Troy which has no extras on the main disk and I only used the audio track english AC3 5 channel.
I know the compression is high but it plays just fine for me. It is a longer movie though 165 minutes, although now that I think of it, shrink recognized it as over 5 hours, thats the first time I ever seen it off by so much, I just verified that and shrink shows it as being 5 hours and 35 minutes.
But for other movies that I manage to have the compression at 85% or so, the time is still near the 3 hour mark from start to finish.

I just realized why that is. The movie is on the disc 2 times, once with the english title of troy, and once with the french one of troie. Very stupid, Im going to re-backup and see how it is.

Ok nevermind thats pointless and by reauthoring I wouldnt have saved much compression. I got my previous number wrong it was 56.6% and by reauthoring with movie and one audio track only it would be 57.7% Not exactly a noticable difference. Thats why I choose to keep the menus on this one. I usually only do if it doesnt make a great difference in compression. Either way I can't really tell the difference when playing it back in my DVD player.

Yea, Just take that French ver of the movie and set it too still pictures that will help alot with the compression , Also sean5775 what are your system specs? do u know the $ level of your processor? the higher it is the quicker u can rip and encode stuff for me i can rip an entire dvd in 8 mins or less encode with shrink takes 30 - 45 mins with AEC and deep analysis
