I can only relate this to the dual Xeon I have here. It is running
Win2k
Advanced Server and is using both processors (I can see this in task
manager).  Why not bite the bullet and see?

OK - next questions for you.

Does the DiVx stuff take advantage of multiple processors? (The box has
4)

If so, which O/S and variant do I need. ISTR that NT4 supported up to
quad,
but Win2k only supports 2 out of the box?

Because of this thread I am in the process of ripping a DVD on a PC
with
dual Xeon 2.2Ghz chips and 2Gb memory.  My normal approach to ripping
is to
do it on my "other" PC which is a PIII 800 with 256Mb ram. It
usually takes
around 10 - 12 hours to rip.  The Xeon machine will take 1hour 32
minutes.
That should convince you....

I know where I will be doing my ripping from now on ;-)

Pedro

P.S. Do you have one of your machines to sell?

Smartripper will still work for ripping.  To encode the DTS/DD you
will have
to extract it with some other software and then tell Flask where to find
it.
I know it's possible 'cos I've seen the option with flask to get an
external
AC3 (?) track but haven't used it to do this myself.  

There are some excellent tutorials on
http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/index.html
. One of them may help you.

Cheers
Pedro

Is it possible to preserve the entire soundtrack "as is" with
those?

I'd like to be able to playback the Dolby Digital / DTS soundtracks
properly...

Ooh.... DVD-ripper / DIVX encoder ????

Simply add DVD-drive and go?

Can anyone recommend some good software... the advantage of +that+ use
is
that the box could remain in the office...

How about:

- video compression - bet that beastie would make light work of it!
- Terminal services server for a few dozen touchscreen PC's
- income generator ;-) - sell them to list members to raise enough dosh for
some loverly new toys... (LA-Z-BOY anyone?)
