Ok, so I want a blu ray reader for my pc. Question is, how long would a reader that reads at max 8x take compared to one that read at max 4x? Scuse for the noob question
lol. What I meant to say was how long would an 8x reader take to rip a blu ray dvd? But thanks for stating the obvious xD
lolz, I never realised that 8x was the same over every format. I always thought 8x was mega slow if you looked at it in cd terms, and mega fast in terms of write speeds on dvd. bah. Guess nobody here has actually ripped a blu ray dvd to be able to give me a straight up answer. Not what the data rate is, how many minutes it takes on average to rip a blu ray dvd. Oh well.
36Mbps is the Blu-Ray 1x data rate. CD's are different. It takes me about 30 minutes (backing up to a USB HDD) for an uncompressed main feature.
i would guess 20-40 minutes on your system especially if you use a multithreaded ripper like handbrake.
I didn't realise handbrake ripped copy protected blu ray dvds? I'm looking to make backups of my current blu ray collection obviously.
well you have to break the encryption first with something else, then you can use handbrake to encode to mkv. for me handbrake does a good job of encoding at a relatively high speed. i guess if you have nvidia the cuda transcoder might be faster though.
