Taking Time

[TorrentGuy]

Hey there,
I have an Intel P4 2.00GHz Processor with 1GB RAM and it takes like 30 hours to do a DVD to Xvid 2CD Rip in MeGUI(2 Pass). This is very time consuming because I was told that I should be able to rip in 12-14 hours.
Please help me.
:thanks:

You are not ripping straight from the disk are you?
You should rip to the harddrive first, and then encode with MeGUI.

Also, the time it takes to encode depends on what settings you use + your hardware, and sorry to say, your hardware isn't that fastest thing in the world.

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting an Intel P4 2.8GHz processor. Should this affect the timings?
:thanks:

If you use MeGui for Deinterlacing and it suggests TDeint(with EDI) as first choice, try TDeint(), which is problably second choice, instead, this should also give a nice speed boost.

And yes, normally faster cpu means faster encoding.
