Hi, I'm new to DVD ripping.

esterday, I ripped a DVD which capacity is about 4GB.

And I used Auto GK and chose the output size to 175mb

but, it took 3hours.

The spec of my PC is..

pentium4 1.6GHZ
768MB
Geforce4 MX 460

does encoding usually take long time like this? or is my PC just slow for encoding?

and how can I encode a vob file seperately?

This is the log during the encoding..

Well your computer isnt bad, but 3hours for a 1/4 cd file does seem a little lengthy, but i wouldnt worry as encoding to a good quality XviD file does take time, especially if you are doing things such as encoding the sound and running 2 passes it will take a while.

I recommend you to try Xilisoft DVD ripper platinum. It auto-detects your CPU. The ripping will be done at the best ripping speed. This is the fastest ripper I used yet. I hope this can be help for you too.

t49ln,
Just a question, why do you encode it to a file 175mb and not say 700mb?

t49ln, your drives probably slipped into PIO mode where they need to be in DMA mode you can check that in device manager or use this guide to fix it

http://bbmayo.home.comcast.net/FAQ.htm

iam using CloneDVD 2 with AnyDVD and it takes me about 10 to 12 mintues total to rip/transcode and burn a dvd for longer movies its about 20 to 25 mintues so there is an idea where you need to be ,my system is above AVG. though

I thought 700mb would take more time than 175mb.
