I have an i7 920 and, depending on the original size, number of extras etc, it's about 4 to 6 hours.

Which i7 CPU 920?

GaPony

I use a Q9650, 8gb RAM, Vista 64 and get most movies in under 6 hrs without overclocking. Not unlike drmih's times.

The i7 920 is a model type for the i7 series CPU. They have a 920, a 940, and a 965.

good thread, I've been curious about what speeds people are getting...

My example:

Title: Quantum of Solace; movie only
Setting: highest quality
Total Time: 13:20

Specs:
Core2Duo E6700 (2.66 Ghz)
No OC
4 Gb RAM
Windows XP

Maybe a nOOb question but what do you guys mean with No OC??

Ok thanxs

The x264 HD benchmark in the hardware forum already has some good results with an enormous number of hardware configurations, though it's using a rather old version of x264. It's still good as a rough guide to overall system performance for x264 though.

Yes it is. For a quick shortcut:

GaPony...I have the same PC Specs.

Q9650(No OC)
Vista 64
8GB RAM
OS Drive is a Velociraptor and the drive I use to create BDRB Workfiles on are 500GB SATAII's with more than 300GB space available.
It take me almost 11-12 hours to do movie only or Full backups.

How do you get them done so fast?

Any advice?

I don't do anything special... I just don't have a bunch of stuff running in the background and no other codecs besides ffdshow.

I have a second PC, which is actually my primary BD-Rebuilder machine, that has a Q9550, 4gb RAM, and is running XP Pro. It also rarely takes over 6 hrs. I'd recommend you take a look to see if you have something running that is conflicting with the BD-Rebuilder operation. A Q9650 should be doing this work in much less time than you're experiencing, unless maybe you're using the Blu-Ray disc as the source instead of ripping it to the hard drive for conversion.

I only, maybe have uTorrent running in the background.

I don't have any web pages open or anything else running.
As you know, when BDRB runs it probably sucks up all the core processing in the Q9650;I rip the BluRay to one hard drive and I use another for rebuilding the files( I have 4 internal hard drives and 4 external. Both hard drives that contain the source folder and the work folder spin at 7200RPMs.)

Other than that...I don't have a clue.

I think I remember reading somewhere about someone running BDRB on the C: Drive but, not in the Program files.
Should I install it somewhere else?
I mean I have it installed on my desktop but the Workfiles folder is on another hard drive.

Could you tell me how you have yours setup and maybe I can run that since we have similar specs????

Thanks, GaPony.

My i7, 920, XP Pro 32 bit, 3 GB triple channel RAM, no OC. Backed up The Wrestler, movie only, BD-RB v0.20.05, took 3hr,56min. I am very pleased. Which is why I keep hoping jdobbs will implement "shut down at BD completion" with next release! :)

Caps... that's what I am talking about!

I plan on upgrading to the Core i7 965 in June.
I just upgraded from an E8400 to a Q9650 and it works fine but, I like to go faster.

I was trying to hold out because Intel said they would be releasing their octocore chips this year and I would rather have true 8 core processing than 4 cores and 4 4 virtual cores to back it up.

I have yet to procure The Wrestler.
I need that BluRay in my life.

Q9550 OC'ing @ 3.6 GHz....

Fastest encoding... movie-only @ Better(Fast) setting

Even at stock GHz (2.83) my first encoding was very low...
@ ssme encoding setting...

Even @ the default encoding settings... most of all the times are between 4 to 5 hours.
So your QuadCore should be doing them far quicker.

Hello,

I was wandering what speeds everybody had in BD-RB. I`ll update this thread with evrybodies findings.

Please only post full backups with high quality or highest quality

AMD X2 4200+ No OC 2GB RAM 26-28 Hours
AMD X2 6000+ no OC 4GB RAM 12-13 Hours
Core2Duo E6600@3.00ghz OC 12-14 Hours
Core2Duo E6700 No OC 4GB RAM 13-14 Hours
Core2Quad Q9650 No OC 8GB RAM 5-6 Hours
Core2Quad Q9550 No OC 4GB RAM 5-6 Hours
i7 920 Around 4 Hours

Time stated are meaningless without everyone using the same disc. For me on my Core i7 920 at 4.1Ghz it takes between 2-4 hours. So those times could all be wrong.

Your're better off just using the x264 benchmark clip Dark Shakiri talks about. Even then it's a waste of time since there is already loads of data available.

What you're proposing is also moot unless eveyone also has the same configuration and mobo too then, if you're going to base it only as you are stating.

Every time posted by everyone will only be a generalized figure per each type of CPU since everyone's systems will also have different motherboard tendencies & hardware configurations, system processes configurations, and even go as far as stating whether or not the individual is overclocking effificiently or not.

I think everyone here realizes that these are all estimated ballpark averages. Even you confirmed that the 4 hour i7 time he mentioned is realistic since you state that your i7 does some in 4 hours as well.
I think that the main realization should be what each person can expect from different CPUs they may be considering upgrading too.

I've found Dark Shikari's comment, about a general improvement being twice as fast if you went from a Dual Core to a Quad Core, to be pretty accurate. Exactly the case with my system when I went from my E6600 to the Q9550... twice as fast 'on average'...
However, when Massiah states that his Q9650 takes on average 11-12 hours, then he knows it should, and can, be better..... for 'any' Bluray.

So what I guess I'm trying to point out is that there will never be a completely scientific finding with any of the times posted by anyone here... just a rough idea of what they should expect from whichever CPU...

Thanks, GaPony.

What settings are you using for copying? Full or Movie Only? Quality Setting? What size output? (BD5, BD9, BD25)

I put the BD-Rebuilder program files on my C: Drive. C:\BD-R Beta\BD_REBUILDER (version #)

I put the working folder on a hot swappable drive because they get filled up fairly quickly (I make a BD9 & BD25 copy for every movie)

I put the original rip from AnyDVD-HD on another hot swappable drive for the same reasons. So I have three HDDs in operation for each copy. I doubt its any faster than using just the C: drive, but it keeps C: from getting badly defragmented.

I do Movie Only if the M2TS stream is bigger than say 30GB(In that case I just use tsMuxer).

If the BluRay has special features I may want to see or it has a Theatrical and Unrated version on the disc, I use Full Backup.

I use BD25 for every backup output( I will start buying 50GB discs here in the next few weeks) and High Quality encoder settings.

I also have three drives in operation:

I have the BD Rebuilder on the C:\Desktop\BD_Rebuilder
I have the Source folder in Drive Q:\VIDEOS\BluRay "Title"
I have the WORKFILES in Drive E:\BD REBUILDER FOLDER

@massiah..

I feel that your Q9650 (at stock speeds, no OC'ing) should be able to encode most of your Blurays in around 4-5 hours @ that High Quality setting, perhaps 6 hours max.
I also have BD-Rebuilder 'and' my work/output folder both on my 'C' drive... with the source Bluray folders on an internal 'J' drive.

Not sure if part of your slowdown is possibly because of having things on 'three' different drives...

MikeyBK, I use three different drives without any speed penalty. I've also done it with the original data folder and BD-Rebuilder output folder on the same drive and the time is pretty much the same.

I'm not sure I'd put the BD-Rebuilder program files in a Desktop folder, but I doubt thats causing any problem.

Perhaps a good registry cleaning and defragging would help...

Bumping this thread for more recent avid encoders to post their current work. I am building an i7-930 with 12gb of ddr3 triple channel ram next week and will post results on different levels of performance.

If someone knows a similar thread to this but with GPU encoding please let me know as I will be using my GTX460 2xSLI to produce some 2-pass encodes using CUDA. thanks
