[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 295601, member: 24160"] Forum will not maintain spacing I set up, but you will get the point. Putting this up in this forum, because as a newb to MAC, this is the kind of info I like to read about. Let me say also that as a long time gamer, my current desktop machine is the first computer I have had for longer than a year. It will be 3 years old in Feb. As many of you long time computer geeks know, that is about when processor capabilties really slowed to a crawl in comparison to what we had been seeing for years. Decided to back up a dual layer DVD to a single layer disk since this is really time consuming. The equipment: System 1) MacBook Pro: 2.33 Core2Duo, 2 Gig running OS X System 2) The same - running XP Pro via Bootcamp System 3) My 3 year old homebuilt desktop with a P4 3.4 Ghz running at stock speed, 1 Gig top end Corsair Video card shouldn't have any factor here but for those that may wonder they are fairly equivalent, the ATI X1600 w/256 and an ATI X800 XL w/256 And of course the SuperDrive in the MBP, says it is burning at 6x; and 3 year old burner in my desktop, maxes out at 4x for DVD -R. So for the time comparisons: System 1) Mack the Ripper - 1 hour 1 minute, gave up here and did no more on this system. For those that don't know, at this point you only have a ripped DVD and you still are going to need to re-encode to get it to fit the single layer disk. System 2) DVD Shrink - low grade analysis and encode - 26 minutes - deep analysis and encode - 47 minutes - burn disk at 6x with Nero - 18min 20sec System 3) DVD Shrink - low grade analysis and encode - 13 minutes - deep analysis and encode - 25 minutes - burn disk at 4x with Nero - 14min 42 sec Other interesting Notes: Top speed measured during analysis System 2 System 3 Rate 4531 KB/s 8133 KB/s Analysis frames/second 129.1 266.5 [/QUOTE]
