Blu Ray Ripping questions

How long does it take to rip a Blu Ray and how long does it usually take to convert to MKV with Megui?
Answer #1
That entirely depends on the speed and type of your cpu, also your gpu, and if then program uses gpu or cpu only.
Sorry, but your question is “how long is a piece of string?”
Answer #2
I have a pretty fast laptop…usually encode fast on the DVD front.
Answer #3
H.264 or VC1 can use up a fair bit of CPU time decoding the BluRay alone and that is before the CPU does any encoding and it will slow the encoding process down due to the CPU time used up doing the decoding.
Encoding DVD’s to or from which uses Mpeg2 is in no way comparable as Mpeg2 video is very quick to decode and encode and Mpeg4 ASP (XVid) is also fairly quick to encode.
Some appz can use video cards to encode but the quality is quite poor in comparison to x264. The best thing is to use the video card to do the H.264/VC1 decoding to free up time for the CPU to do the encoding. Still quite slow for FullHD taking a lot of hours for a Movie, but somewhat faster than using the CPU for everything.
The best thing you can do is to try it. Maybe only do a small part of it to test the encoding frame rate to give you an idea.

Thanks..I’ll play with it when I get my Blu Ray drive.
