Is this correct? VOB files in a separate harddrive and rest in another?

[marie]

OK i read something about speeding up the encoding by using two harddrives.

Is this correct?

I will DVD2SVCD save all the vob files ripped from DVD to drive D (10GB 5400 rpm) and everything else to drive E (28GB 7200 rpm)? or the other way around?

Is this the correct setting to achieve the fastest encoding speed I can with the harddrive settings?

Thanks

using separate hard drives may give u a small speed increase (and if so your setup will be fine) but the change is negligible compared to ram/cpu limitations and many settings inside dvd2svcd (eg temperal smoothing off etc)

xrv1138 said it. audio extraction should be a lot faster, though.
vobs on d: and the rest on e: is okay.
if your mpv and your mp2 files are on e: , you could make bbmpeg output d: . This might help a bit too. Then, VCD image output on e: again.

This way the HD intensive chores don't have to read and write the same disk.

If you are ntsc you can change the audio and the pulldown to a separate HD. This way when bbmple runs it is pulling the two files it needs BACK to the working dir where your VOBs are. Audio, Pulldown, and multiplexing all move huge amounts of data.

right, forgot about the pulldown...
thanks ddog! :D
