How Long?
 

How long does it normally take to make a fully working backup of a DVD which needs to be compressed? I made a backup of Saving Private Ryan last night, which took over an hour, and Finding Nemo is taking about 90 min tonight. Is this normal because of the time needed for compression? A normal backup with no compression took me about 20 min. - and I don't want to cut out any extras, menus, etc.

Btw, I'm running a 1.4 ghz P4, 640mb RDRam, 2 x 80gb 7200rpm, and the burner is a rebadged Pioneer A06 flashed to be a true Pioneer A06 (106D).

sounds about the right time

I have a 2.7ghz P4 512 ddr ram pc and it takes me no longer than 20 min to compress any dvd Ive come across.

Dang, 20 min to rip, compress, and burn?? Thas crazy fast, which burner are you using? Btw, my compressed Finding Nemo (54% of original quality) does NOT look good towards the latter half of the movie, while diminished quality on the compressed Saving Private Ryan is not as noticeable. I think this has to do with Finding Nemo being animated, where the graphics and lines are so clear cut and exact that any reduction in quality is blatantly obvious. Any other ways to split a DVD into 2 besides XCopy Platinum to preserve original quality?

I didnt say rip or burn. I just said compress. It takes me approximately 50 min to rip dvd to hdd. 20 min to compress and since I only burn at 2x it takes 31min to burn.

Im using my old Sony DRU-500A, including to read. So as soon as I get an external case Ill put a 16x dvd reader and rip my dvd hella faster.
