I’m using HandBrake to “rip” the films, it’s a slow process (about 2 hours per DVD) and I’m still on the look out for a quicker method. I recently tried Ripit, which had it’s advantages – it would copy the contents of a DVD pretty quickly (about 25 minutes per DVD), I could then stack up a handful of films in a HandBrake queue and compress them in one go without having to keep swapping discs, I could then just leave my Mac compressing during work or over night. The only problem with this process is that HandBrake took a lot longer to compress the Ripit copies than it would to rip and compress straight from the DVD (about 2 and a half to 3 hours per DVD file). If you know any hints or tips then I’d love to hear them.
