Has anyone tried this? I have a 2.4ghz processor w/ 2gb of ram. Will it make them skip?

it will not work, the program will only handle one movie at a time no matter what kind of system you have
We shall go to the end,we shall fight in France,we shall fight on the seas and oceans,we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,we shall defend our Island,whatever the cost may be,we shall fight on the beaches,we shall fight on the landing grounds,we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,we shall fight in the hills;we shall never surrender

It would be interesting to try with a Dual Core system but with a single core system nothing would be gained by it. Most transcoders use a lion's share of one's system's CPU cycles. Since you have a single core system that is probably not hyper threaded, your CPU can only process effectively one thread at a time. To try two separate encodes at the same time would probably result in you CPU oscillating between the two. The end result is that two simultaneous attempts at transcoding a movie might even take more than twice as long as do each individually.
I don't think that it would necessarily cause skips since transcoding doesn't require a constant rate at which to encode. Back in the day when I still used trancoders I often used my PC for other purposes at the same time such as surfing the web or browsing through forums and posting with no ill effect. All that it did was slow the rate of the encode. Now it would be interesting to try two separate movies on a dual core system to see if each attempt would work on its own core.

2.4 ghz core 2duo 4m l2 cache, 4gb of ddr800
4 discs at the same time with clone dvd and the longest took me 23 minutes (it was a season) I did use different hard drives for each temp folder and a 5 drive to write the images to. there was absolutely no slow down in my machine

I too have a killer core 2 duo system, an E6700@3.6 GHz, and being the naturally lazy individual that I've grown to be, I thought that a screenshot by you would put things in perspective. My comment is not meant to be a disparaging request aimed at debunking your claims in any way, and my apology if it was taken as such. I just like to see results in a visual form. Whenever I post a measured result of some kind I always include a supporting screenshot to support it.
Note: This is not a challenge either.;)

Hi ;-)
CloneDVD2 will only run one rip/compression at a time.
But you can have CloneDVD2 running in multiple mode.
Even using one HD, just create a seperate temp folder(s) for the other programs to send files to.
Quite why you would want to do this is beyond me.
Although I know some-one will say because I can.:-)
N.B. I have done this with topend singlecore - two was a struggle.
dualcore midrange with somewhat ease.
Quadcore lowend two was a breeze, & no I didn't take it further. It was a test for the CPUs & little more.

No one doubted your success at running 4 encodes at once, it was your mentioned time of completion that raised doubts in the minds of others, and I see nothing indicated in your screen shot that disputes that skepticism.

Hi ;-)
monteca I am sorry there are so many distrusting souls here.
I for one not only believe you but know it can be done (even with only one HardDrive!).
The time seems right too. As a single operation takes arond 8 mins for me on average (& rarely longer than 10).
An operation that takes 8 mins for single, would be around 11mins for two, 18 mins for three & 28 mins for four.
These times are based on my experiences with my setup.
N.B. I have in real terms 4x WD 250GB HDs, but in practice only one. Raided 0+1 + 500GB. So destinations are folders & not HD's.

I know my times were right...if you look at me screen shot it shows the remaining time and that the processes were all just started

It isn't a question of distrust but rather one of verification. I've made many claims on AD over the years and I've always included evidence to back them up.
Suppose someone comes along and states that he ran six transcodes at once in 20 minutes. Do we just buy into it without question? I neither believe nor doubt Monteca's claims, because I have no way of knowing whether they are true or exagerated. Also note that some DVD's will transcode much quicker than others because they contain fewer frames. They might be over 8 gigs in size but having fewer total frames is going to see a much faster transcode. I do however believe that he ran four instances at once, but since I never use transcoders such as Clone DVD, I have no way of gauging completion times short of running the experiment on my own.

You have a right not to respond to any challenges made on you, but I also believe that others have an equal right to make those challenges.

Hi ;-)
My comments weren't aimed at anyone in particular Sophocles.
But I have recieved numurous PMs etc about this topic.
I guess the avatar & my standing at a certain forum invites that.
You are right of course that more information can be of help in many ways.
My favouite setup includes a BenQ drive with MCSE speedpatched f/w allowing upto 15.7x ripping speed Dualcore processor with Raided drives, along with the fact that I write @ max speeds (currently upto 20x with Samsung SH-S203B).
I am often able to rip/compress/write quicker than many users can rip.
It is all about setups.
Plus the size of the source disc as you point out, may mean little or no compression.
So I was not having a go at you per se. More a response to those who linger in the background.:-)
