Convert / compress woes ... help!!
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2014 4:44 am
I just started using MakeMkv to rip DVD, haven't tried Blu-Ray yet. The default settings appear to work ok for starters. Now that I have a ripped DVD movie in *.mkv I would like to compress it from 5GB down to ~1GB. Any suggestions?
I have been using Handbrake to rip dvd and it does a good job, but takes ~2hrs to rip
and compress. I thought the bottle neck was the dvd player rom speed and just
accepted this theory. I just ripped a movie dvd using MakeMkv and saved the mkv file
to my hdd. I then used Handbrake to convert/compress to mp4 ~1GB. To my suprise
it still took appx. 2 hrs ( using the 2 pass and slow settings) to convert/compress even
though the source mkv file was on my hdd not dvd player.
Anybody have any solutions to speed up the compress time?
Thanks Mucho
