how long will it take??

[HaBo]

hi i have been ripping about 20 movies sofar with my amd t-bird 900mhz. and it takes about 6-10 hours depending on if use inverse telecine etc. i was thinking to buy a new processor, like amd xp 2100, thats about 1,7ghz. how will this improve the time it takes for me to rip a divx? how many hours do you guys think it would take for me to rip a movie? would really apreciate replys before i buy this processor. thnx in advance

Yes of course you will get a nice speed boost by upgrading to a faster PC. Divx encoding doesn't quite scale with clock speed but it's not that far off. I really hate stating specific numbers, because it'll depend on quite a lot of factors other than just raw clock speed.

ok man.. but i wanna know if its the half speed or something?

[setarip]

yes, it should take somewhere in the neighborhood of half the time...

[HaBo]
