Hiya,
Having thought I'd lost a DVD yesterday which is totally irreplaceable due to being decades out of print, so to speak(1), I'm thinking of ripping my entire DVD collection - or at least the less easily replaceable bit of it - to somewhere where it can be backed up more easily.
Hence I'm in the market for a ripper. Now, characteristics it needs:
a) Needs to rip to a decently small format - say 500Mb/hour - with decent quality.
b) Needs to be reasonably fast - say an hour a DVD at a maximum.
I've got one at present that is fast (10 mins), but it rips to around 1.5-2 GB/hour, which is a little excessive.
Hence, reccomendations please . Free would be nice, but am prepared to shell out cash if necessary. Can use either a linux or a Windows box to do the work.
(1) Thankfully it turned up down the back of a bookcase after looking in all the sensible places didn't work.
