The
speed which your dvd ripper can work depends on several
factors. One of the big factors is the drive speed.
For instance an 8x drive will have the capability
of ripping the dvd 8 times faster than the dvd will
play. Another factor that will effect how fast your
dvd ripper goes is cpu speed. If you have a slow
cpu that will make it so the dvd ripper cannot keep
up with the drive and will cause a slowdown.
Since
a dvd ripper uses a lot of cpu processes and disk
space it is important that you keep your computer
clear of junk and keep it as lean and mean as possible.
You do not want a bunch of spyware, software updates,
mp3 players, games, applications, etc running in
the background as they could screw up the process
of the dvd audio ripper and the video dvd ripper.
It is also important to have a fast machine that
can handle conversion of dvds to your hard drive.
A recent machine that has a 2ghz+ processor should
be able to do the job quite well. Also having more
than 40gb of free space is recommended as you do
not want to spend an hour ripping your dvd only to
find that your dvd ripper has ran out of space and
must quit.

a dvd audio ripper, you can now get some software
