Multi Processor Ripper?

(1/2) > >>

theprophet:
Ok I can't seem to find a thread about this on here, if I missed it I am sorry.

I just built a 6 core processor computer but the program i use to rip Vids to mkv doesn't go any faster at all. I was told by someone that I need a multi Thread ripping program??? And that will utilize the extra cores between my dual core and the new 6 core.. What is the low down? What kind of program I need to rip videos quickly? Currently using Fair Use Wizard 2... What program should I be using to rip to mkvs? In a timely manor but with decent quality?

iindigo:
It depends entirely on the software you use to rip, since multicore support has to be programmed in. A LOT of software out there doesn't even make use of dual cores yet, let alone six cores.

I have no suggestions for ripping software, but thought I'd drop that little bit of info at least.

theprophet:
Yes I understand that alot of programs don't utilize all the speed in these things just thought I would see what others use. I could search the net but you know every program says they are the best. I don't care if it's something I have to buy I just want something that works well.

Xiong Chiamiov:
The actual ripping process will likely be limited to how fast your optical drive reads, rather than being cpu-bound.  Encoding, though, is a different issue.

_Jitsu_:
That's why some of the cpu engineers were focused on building a CPU with multiple cores that can work as a single one, rather than the opposite that we're used too.
That's because using more than one core requires the software to be adapted to that kind of processing. Also there are some algorythms that simply CANNOT be multi threaded due to their mathemathical nature.

As of software, like the preceeding post said - the speed will be likely limited to your media (HDD, optic drive, streaming, whatever) throughput.
As of encoding (not ripping) i recommend one of Xilisoft's software. It's not free, and acts poorly as of mkv ripping, but does a great job for other formats. You can also try using a free "SUPER" (yes, that's the name) software, though if you have little experience in the filed, using it may prove difficult, if not impossible.

Good luck mate.
