how to faster ifoedit?

[sidar]

hello,

im using athlon xp 1800 with barracuda 60 gigs and ibm 40 gigs, both 7200 rpm, with epox 8kha+ board.

stripping audio and subs, or making an image with CouJo dll's, take time a lot. i know it is normal, like 15-20 mins, but I want them faster, is it possible? example buying a new hdd or cpu will faster this jobs? or what should do buy?

thanks a lot,

sid

@Sidar:
You are lucky with 2 independent HD's. With only one it takes somewhat around double the time...
OK - the reason is obvious.

But what keeps me wondering is: the progress-box moves fast at the beginning of each (read) VOB-file and slows down more and more to the end.

Is this the same with your system (reading from HD A and writing to HD B, lets say) ???

I have the impression, that the reading routines of IFOEDIT perform a constant repositioning from the start of the file when browsing through it - instead of steadily stepping forward.

I have to admit that my knowledge of programming is very limited, even more so my knowledge of the structure of VOB-files. So DERROW - forgive me, if this is totally nonsense ;)

OTOH - the new "real remuxing"-feature in DERROW's IFOEDIT writes the destination at 4x speed when compared to older features (create IFO's e.g.)

thanks for reply. yes I know, with only one harddisk, it willl chinese torture. but even with 2 hdds, it takes time. even I dont choose stripping, just choosing correct this and this, it takes same time.

yes it is same, faster in the beginning, slower near the end.

i dont know, i read in a guide that raid helps it, maybe buying a raid board will increase, but is it worth? i just want to learn it.

Fast reaction ! :)

But I wouldn't spend any money for a raid-controller yet. A gain of transfer-performance is achieved by writing to 2 HD in parallel - this would increase your speed for sure. For shear writing OR reading that is. But for copying you would end up with my situation: Your 2 HD's in a raid-array would appear to be one. You don't want to install HD #3 and #4, do you? :p

I'm still hoping that this nonlinear behaviour if IFOEDIT can be changed.

Keep in mind, thats only my opinion.

Would be interesting to read other guys comments on this topic

It's a very strange behavor, I wonder my self.

I wanted to make the VobUnit Correction faster, so I seek for each VobU, and change it, instead of reading each LBA, and strangewise it gets slower towards the end.

It is definatly an Windows-problem, or a prob by the used file-access functions.
I'll try it with different file-reading/writing/seeking functions, and see, if it will change anything.
