Hey??? Adding a blu-ray drive will allow you to watch blu-ray movies (High definition), the dvdfab software is capable of ripping them if you prefer having them stored on the pc.

will bluray burn normal 4.7 discs aswell then

I think you pay a £20 premium to have the bluray writing as well as dvd writing. The cheaper drives only read bluray but read & write dvds.

I use verbatim dual layer (8.5GB) dvds myself. Works out just under £1 per disk, to do a 1:1 backup of a movie dvd you need DL not the single layer (4.7GB) dvds.

Your new favourite software can rip your bluray movies to say 8GB which would fit on the DL disks nicely to back them up if you wished......nothing wrong with you getting a bluray writer but the media is going to cost more.

Just pointing out the cheaper alternative, so how happy are you with the new rig?

god its bloody fast...to convert a avi 700 meg on old machine 40 mins...new one with a 2 pass and higher 18-19 mins..with ConvertXtoDVD 4.lol

Quicksync isnt a program by itself as such, its to do with the HD3000 core built-in to your CPU.

Install the Lucid and Intel graphics driver, when a program can make use of it, it will switch to the built-in core and start using it.

The official list of supported programs is here - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us...ick-sync-video/quick-sync-video-consumer.html

i knew that...(not) ..i just dloaded one of those programs will have a go l8ter ...thanks ..still not sure wot lucid meanss but i bet someone tells me soon..lol

Lucid is a little program that switches between the GFX card and the HD3000 GFX built-in to the CPU as needed.

Don't be too hard on yourself fella, there is quite a lot to take in. If you installed the drivers from the supplied CD they will be out of date. It's best to goto your mobos webpage and download the latest drivers there (dont worry about the BIOS and BIOS update software).

Stulids link explains what quicksync is and shows a few programs that use it (that's not all of them). Roxio could well be worth a look, i used to use it back in the day.....i prefered it over the Nero suite.

Like i said before there maybe a program you prefer to use for converting a video file to DVD format but if you intend to rip/copy from a DVD/Bluray i think you'll find dvdfab is superior.

yes i updated all drivers as soon as i formated SSD and then flashed ssd ... i chuckle at how fast this is ..lol
