Hand Brake speed to rip DVD ... what makes it

[dynaflash]

Interesting. I did a stopwatch test.

With 7300GT, rip takes 1 hour 33 minutes.

With ATI 4870, rip takes 47 minutes.

Nothing changed except the video card, same DVD, same system. I can't explain what is going on. I just know that with the new graphics card a rip is a one-beverage proposition.

I would love to see the activity logs for both encodes, I can guarantee you it was a different source and or options.

The gpu gives *absolutely* no speed boost to handbrake. HandBrake is all cpu.

Dynaflash, Will that change in the future? Will future versions of HandBrake use OpenCL to take advantage of GPU processing power?

Funny to me how DynaFlash is almost polite at MR but everyone on the HB forums is a jerk most of the time.

Nevermind. I read the answer on the HandBrake FAQ. Plus, I understand now that this is really an issue for the x264 library, not HandBrake itself.
