Re: Modded Xbox FTW

Yeah, I also modded the xbox, and put XBMC on there also. The latest version plus the xbox360 layout makes it more user friendly for the wife. I also use smb shares from a computer that just servers video and audio at any given time. I would also like to upgrade the hard drive to maybe 500 gig from 160 gig. But what I am having a hard time finding the right program that converts dvd format to xvid or divx with ac3 audio. I have a stupid fast system, but converting takes me an hour to convert an hour of dvd format footage to xvid. I am currently using SuperC, what do you use? Oh and I swear, I use the Media Center side of the Xbox more than I play games. :P

Re: Modded Xbox FTW

I use AnyDVD & DVD decrypter for ripping. As for XVID / DIVX I'm currently using DR. DIVX , I know Dr. Divx isn't the greatest and has some audio issues ( I don't have a surround system so the 5.1 and AC3 issue don't apply to me) I really like the batch functions and the easy of use. The speed isn't that great either on a AMD3200 it takes about 3.5 hours to do a 2 hour DVD

Re: Modded Xbox FTW

Yep that sounds about right, I have a opteron 165 overclocked to 2.7ghz with pc3200 mem and I see about the same conversion times, oh well. It's still worth it though. Oh also for ripping I use ripit4me and fixvts along with dvd decrypter. Thought you might want to know this. Later

Re: Modded Xbox FTW

I've been using AnyDVD + CloneDVDMobile Slysoft.

AnyDVD does all the decrypting on the fly

CloneDVDmobile converts straight from the disc to divx.

so far I have converted 130+ of my personal collection, easy and quick. (I tried 6+ methods, all were PITA). only beef I have with CDM is you have to have an .ifo file, so it must be from a dvd (or a copy of the video_ts folder, no mpeg conversions or anything), otherwise, its the perfect rental extension tool.
1 disc takes 35-55 minutes on a:
Pentium 4 @ 3.4Ghz (800MHzFSB, 1MBL2, HT not dual)
1GB DDR400, dual channel on an Intel 865PERL
(1) 300GB SATA drive(16MB cache, 150Mb/s)
(1) Plextor SATA DVD everything (16x read)
(1) Liteon IDE 16x DVD everything
(1) LG IDE 8x DVD-ROM
I can rip 3 discs at once (CDVDM is ok with multiple copies running)
takes just about 1 hour 45 minutes for all three, start to finish.
