Which DVD Ripper?

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.

Sorry, 500 MB / hour, not Megabit. (Mb).

mencoder is fantastic, and extremely powerful.

Though with great power comes...The need to read the instructions.

Handbrake for me too. Available on any platform you like and very usable indeed.

Not quite sure if its what your after but i use makemkv you can strip out all the menus/subs/foreign languages to get a smaller file size, pretty quick takes about10-15mins to read and rip a DVD, 20-30min for a blu-ray so if all you want is the main feature can't fault it.

How good is your pc John? To reencode to a small filesize with good quality (as good as the original dvd) quickly you'll need a pc with a decent processor in it.

dvd::rip in linux is reasonably fast if you have a multi-core cpu, as you can set the multiple cores to run as a cluster, and that makes a huge difference
