I have tried make mkv and i can rip in 20-30 mins and i don't see my CPU or GPU phased at all but maybe because it is loseless quality so little encoding is being done? I also have 3 BD players for ripping so keep that in mind if that can over load the CPU.Īlso if I have ISOs on my NAS and want to convert them to losssless or downsized mkv or whatever type do I need cuda support? I wouldn't be limited to the 20-30 mins ripping time since they would be on an HDD or SSD at that point so the BD drive would not be a bottleneck. If 20-50 bucks saves me time and adds useful features its worth it.ĭo I need or want CUDA support? I have a 980 TI and an intel i7 4770K I will be getting a better processor soon, either skylake or x99 K/E edition. *Free is preferred but i am willing to buy a software if it adds a much better user interface and features. *do multiple DVD/BDs at once (I have 3 BD drives) *create mkv/other formats at lossless quality and any quality of choice (res/compression/codec/filetype/bit rate/and so on) *no water marks or loss in quality (given) We as a family need the versatility to take our videos with us so a 30-60GB movie does not always work I may have a 240GB flash drive able to do 100-160MBps but those are still HUGE files for week long trips sometimes out of the country. My dad does a ton of travel as well as my brother.

and features are a must like selecting codec/res/size. My goal if I have space is to rip ISO and MKV/other media format but if space is an issue I will rip ISOs and convert to mkv or whatever when i want to use them as media files. I am building a NAS/DAS and I want to start ripping my family's DVD/BD collection for use on the network. Hey guys, these are my needs and wanted to know what your thoughts were on whats the best ripping software and encoding software.
