Bluray to MKV GPU Acceleration?

Roll on opengl/cl. Cuda should really have been left to scientific applications but nvidia just uses anything it can to sell cards. Unfortunately the only transcoders I know running opencl are limited to macs, so for the next couple years pcs will be limited to cpu transcoding. Not such a bad thing consider how good the i chips are and the main reason bulldozer is getting native video encoding.

Q6600 taking 5 hours for a bluray isn't bad tbh. Ideally you want an amd hex (actually same as intels first gen chips, pretty damned impressive considering the age of the family) or an i7.

He has a Q6600, and Quick Sync is rubbish anyway.

Just awful... :p

What if it's your own blurays that you own?

There was talk of 'managed copy' allowing one copy to be made. Don't know if it was ever implemented though. Otherwise, making a copy would entail breaking the copy protection which is covered under the DMCA in the US. Not sure if we have an equivalent under existing law or perhaps the new Digital Economy Act. Not that you're ever likely to run into trouble as long as it's for your own personal use.

No it isn't, that would be a transfer rate of 1.5MB/s.

The reason it's taking so long is because he needs a faster processor. A 4.5GHz 2500k would be much faster.

I don't think James was referring to any form of compression or decoding, transocoding... whatever you want to call it. He was meaning a straight rip the hard disk without any compression or conversion. This only takes 30 minutes on average and is of course limited by your bluray drive.

yes it is. he was using MakeMKV, that does nothing except rip the disc and wrap the files in an MKV container. the optical drive IS the limiting factor. If he was transcoding then that would be a different story but he isnt.

I've decided just too give up. I did actually order two 2TB drives to put in my main pc which I also use a file server to stream to my HTPC running XBMC in the bedroom. I'm just going to stick too ripping to .MKV. Save any hassle with encoding etc.

If only it was quicker.
