ohh, I thought you were saying, it should be okay

I dunno, its not up to me to judge, although it sounds kind of lame for an excuse :\

It's just faster to download than Rip. Atleast with my hard-drive. I KEEP TRYING TO DEFRAG AND IT JUST WON'T DO IT! After each Defrag it still analyzes exactly the same. And it takes like 6 hours to do it. FOR THE NAME OF GOD WHY WON'T ALL THE LINES TURN BLUE...

Anyways, I'm buying a new hard drive just for DVD Rips, CD Rips, and my Media Projects

80 gig of course.

But I was just wondering if that was frowned upon... I don't do it because I have no respect for those who distribute and I don't want to encourage them.

It's faster for you to download than to rip? I ripped the entire Escaflowne series in...about an hour. You can download 26 episodes in less than that?!?!?

That was YOU! It takes me about 45 minutes to rip one 24 minute episode.

And yeah I can if I use the T-1 line in my network, but I don't use that connection for personal use...

Dude by a new DVD-drive. What are you using a 2X DVD-rom ?

16X for like :\ $40 - $50.

Even on fragmented parts of my hard drive, I can still get about 10MB/sec off of it. It usually takes about 20minutes per DVD on my crappy 8X(which really only likes to rip at 4X - 6X

).

Actually re-reading that, you said 40mins PER EPISODE. Seeing as DVD 1X(the minimum needed to playback a DVD in realtime) is 1152KB/sec. It takes you two times longer then realtime to rip it. So that means your DVD drive is only outputting about 576KB/sec.

So you have a DVD drive that you can't even playback a movie on ? That sounds pretty shitty. Or if it's your hard drive, it's getting has slow as 576KB?

>_>

It all sounds fishy.

Depending on if the DVD I'm decrypting is encrypted or not, it takes me anywhere from 20 mins to an hour and ten minutes to decrypt. about 2 mins to make the D2V, 1 min to make the AVS, and then about an hour or so (Depending on how many AVISYnth filters I have) to compress.

You aren't counting Encoding Time. To Rip the VOBs it only takes about 5 minutes for a entire disc but that's only one step. I then extract the audio, 9 minutes on an 100 minute files. What really takes the time is the Encoding... 40-45 mintues to turn the VOB into an MPG.

why the hell are you encoding to mpg to edit?

That, and how often do you use the DVD audio in your AMVs? Tab, the guy probably just meant MPEG. But still, you can edit using the avs files.
