• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hello all!
I hope any of you can help me. I have bought a new Mac pro with 2 Xeon 2,6Ghz, with 4gb of ram and the ATI X1900. My older Mac was a G4 Macmini 1,4 Ghz and 1Gb of ram.
Using Handbrake with my old macmini taked 3 hours to rip a DVD more or less, and with my new Mac Pro.... the SAME!!!!!!!!!!
What is happening???? I'm not experiencing that BIG suppoused velocity! :( :( :(

What version of Handbrake? Are you running the latest version? My iMac G5 2.1Ghz took around 2 hours and my Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66Ghz takes under 1 hour and usually 50 minutes or so.

Go to elgato.com and buy their USB hardware device for speeding up H264 encoding - it works!
