This an excellent group of DVD, CD copy programs.

I haven't tried GameJackal, but I would expect it to work well and it offers some unique features.

Enjoy!

AnyDVD is probably the best "DRM filter" on the market, IIRC it is a driver that sits between your program and the optical drive itself so you can use any ripping program that you want.

how long does it take to rip a hd-dvd using the xbox360 drive? (usb2 connection?!)

It depends on the size of the movie. Usually 35- 70 minutes.

Great programs

And it also works well with CDs for creating play lists and labeling. :thumbsup:

How does this compare with DVDFab Platinum. You get a lifetime membership/upgrades with that.

Excuse my ignorance but what do you rip an HD-DVD to? I've got an XBox360 + HD-DVD add-on and it's great but I have never tried to rip a movie because I don't know what I would do with it after that.

 

[iseestars]

The HD add-on for xbox 360 can also be used with a pc

I've heard that it can be used on a PC but what do you do with a ripped HD-DVD? By that I mean it's not going to fit on a standard or dual layer DVD right?

You save it to your hard drive and view it on your PC without handling discs.

Ah, that's what I suspected. I've got a 20" Dell 2001FP on my computer and a 50" Sony LCD projection in the living room. Which one do you think I want to watch my HD-DVD's on? If my Sony only had more than 1 DVI or a VGA input I'd hook my PC to hit. Unfortunately my TV is old.

 

[kreactor]

35 to 70minute?

is safe to conclude that usb2.0 's bandwidth (or its lack of) will be the rate limiting step despite using a quad core?
or is anydvd decryption not cpu dependent?

Time to get a DVI switch. That's what many in the AVS Forum do.

It is a drive read speed limitation. It only rips at about 7-8MB/sec. USB2.0 can handle much more than that

OT, but what about an extra component input? I am using component output on my HTPC with excellent results, at least when it comes to videos and movies. Just a thought.

 

[Robor]

I tried finding a DVI switch locally (Best Buy, Circuit City, and CompUSA) and none of them carry one. Unfortunately for me my TV only has 1 DVI and 2 component inputs.

 

[bigsnyder]

I believe monoprice carries some inexpensive HDMI switchers. With DVI/HDMI cables it should work fine.
