Multi Processor Ripper?

<< < (2/2)

x5ga:
Ripping something from a CD/DVD/BD is most likely limited by the speed of the optical reader, adding a more powerful CPU does little to improve this. Of course, if you switched from a single-core 1,7GHz Celeron to your 6-core CPU, there might be improvements, especially at ripping BD/DVDs (mostly due to the motherboard though), but switching from a dual-core does little to improve ripping speed.

As for encoding, x264 has multi-core optimizations, but in some instances not all of the cores are used (ex: with avisynth, if I remember correctly). Still, the only way to make sure it uses all the cores is to open task manager and have a look. If it doesn't, well... you can always encode 2 or 3 video files at once on different cores until all are maxed out :)

Temuthril:
AviSynth has a filter available for multithreading.

I understand the Ripping with the Optical Drive affecting the speed, but most times I rip to an iso before ripping it to mkv format ( or is that called encoding? Sorry new to this) Currently on double pass, highest quality at about 1.2 gig per movie H.264/AC3 its taking about 10-12 hours total, for the medium quality its taking about 4-6 hours per movie.... Are these just the times it takes to rip the quality I am looking for or is there something better out there? Currently using a program called Fair Use Wizard 2.9

Is this AVISynth a good prog to use to what I am doing? How can I tell if it's just using one core or not, just task manager it and check the core processor? It says its taking up 70% of processor usage. anything I can do to speed things up or am I at what I can expect of speed? The drive I have sucks but if I am ripping from iso shouldn't that all depend on the cpu? Will adding more ram help the ripping process?

I don't know how it looks in anything newer than XP, but there the task manager has an option in one of the menus to show one graph per cpu.  You'll then be able to see if you just have one cpu pegged.

No, and maybe.  You are having to write out data to the drive, no?  I'm not sure how much memory something like that takes; I suppose it would be possible to do it all in RAM, which would eliminate what is often the bottleneck in performance, but it's hard to tell without seeing what your computer is doing ourselves.
