I'm ripping a large amount of DVDs. It's taking approximately 15-20 minutes per DVD. Would getting a faster ODD or upping the processor speed make a massive difference?

I'm currently using an LG Bluray RW which reads dvds at 16x and an i5 2500k at 4.2ghz.
 
Your limited by the read speed of the optical drive. Nothing to do with the processor... as you aren't processing anything. It's only ripping, not encoding.

Best thing to do is get a few cheap readers for around a tenner. Install 3-5 of them and rip 5 dvds at a time :)
 
Yeah i thought the processor was more for the encoding bit, I wasn't looking to buy a new processor just maybe overclock mine a bit more. I'll grab a 24x dvd drive though

Thanks

i stand corrected
 
Just my little bit, no matter what cpu you use it wont rip any faster but a faster writer maybe. Will you be writing them afterwards? most rippers take about 3 to 5 mins to rips vobs to the drive. If your ripping then burning I'd suggest a reader and a writer, dvdshrink is still good for encoding & there are a vast amount of ripping progs.
 
a faster reader and dvddecryptor will do what u need :D you will have to google coz I cant link you as its not legal to :D
