View Full Version : Time wasted ripping chapters with internal routines

I recently ripped the 24 episodes of the X-Files ( Season 1 ). There are 4 episodes to a disk and six disks. If you rip the FIRST of the four episodes on any disk using internal routines, it rips fine and is written to the hard drive but DVD2SVCD continues to sort of "look at" the rest of the disk yet writes nothing to the C drive. It took 3 minutes to actually rip the episode and write it to the C drive but DVD2SVCD wasted another 10 minutes sort of scanning the rest of the DVD.
If you rip the SECOND episode, internal routines do start at the second episode but when it is ripped, DVD2SVCD continues to "look at" episode 3 and 4 - and wastes about 6 minutes writing nothing to the hard drive. I know I could use Smartripper to rip each episode and it will stop after ripping that one episode.
This is not meant to be a flame of the program as the episodes are ripped perfectly. I wonder why internal routines rip chapters this way and could this "time wasting" be fixed in a future version of DVD2SVCD ?

Maybe it's because the end credits is the same (and last) cellid on the dvd for each chapter. Then DVD2SVCD will always run through the entire dvd.

Thank you for the reply - The ending credit few seconds ARE the same for each episode - I never thought of that .. that is probably why the program acts this way ..
