310936 2005-01-05 09:16:00 Hey,

I'm trying to backup a DVD of my cousins wedding to XviD.
I'm using dvd::rip in Fedora Core 2.

It rip's off the DVD really quickly, but when I select a bitrate of about 800, its only going at about 7.4fps and is giving me an estimated time of 8 hours.

There is about 2 hours of footage in native (.Vob) format

Is this normal? I'm sure its quicker when I do it on a windows box.

310938 2005-01-05 09:32:00 When I was encoding to SVCD format on a 1GHz CPU, it took about an hour for three minutes of video to be done, so I wouldn't be surprised at the eight hour encode time.

You could try selecting a lower quality level though.

Athlon 2400XP, 512mb ram, 80gb ata-133 hdd.

Encoding using the ffmpeg mpeg4 codec goes much faster, at about 33fps, but i don't even know what that is so...we'll see about the quality

310941 2005-01-05 19:52:00 Personally I would prefer to encode it to Theora if you're after compression....
Or even VP6 would do!
