Re: [OT] DVD ripping using multiplke firewire drives ?

["Chris Purves" <CHRIS_PURVES@xxxxxxx>]

So at 2 hours per dvd thats 1200 hours for under a grand or under =A31
per hour - slave labour!

As for EAC, might I suggest you check your setup - I run at around 7
mins a disk for EAC rip. Somtimes faster. I bought one of the EAC
recommended drives though. I also have SATA hard disks and the CD
reader on PATA. Apparently it makes a big difference - you should
never have the hard disk and cd ripper on the same bus.

guide of "how long" since his hobby (apart from copying TB of
data
across his network) is continually re-ripping his DVDs...
