MISHA  7 hours isn't abnormal, it really depends on your processor speed. Settings matter a lot, too. There are definitely settings that produce less good rips but take much less time.

SHMK  Seems a bit prohibitive especially if you want to transfer all the dvds you own to your hard drive. How come it takes so much longer than Ripit for example, even when you are just doing a direct copy?

MISHA  A direct copy should not take 7 hours. I'd contact the dev for some help if you're sure you're just setting it to do a direct copy. It might be re-compressing the DVD as well (from the sound of the time it's taking you).

Generally speaking main bottlenecks of copying a DVD to your drive is the speed of the DVD drive itself. RipIt, MacTheRipper, DVDRemaster Pro should all perform the raw copy at about the same speed.

SNOWWHITESICKETTE  I've never needed seven hours to remaster with this software, but I guess the size of the movie might require so much time. I've used this to remaster several movies, and it took anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours, using a G4 iMac (1 GH, 1 GB, 80 GB), which qualifies as "underpowered." (I wish Apple would update the firmware to hold more RAM!) The movies were from 4.5 - 9.6 GB in size, and I shrank all of them- full remastering. Using 10.5.8, all current updates. Couple of suggestions- have you run Disk Utility lately, to check the disk directory and to repair permissions? Is your hard drive relatively full? If the drive is okay and has at least twice the space of the file needing remastering, seven hours does seem long to me...

SJK  There's no manual. You could contact the developer directly to ask why not and request one for the future.

SNOWWHITESICKETTE  All I saw online was a less-than-helpful tutorial. Definitely an area for improvement.

SHODER  Sorry It's my fault! I have not see the specific check box....

ABRASIF  Hi Tom,

When you select a VIDEO_TS folder DVDRemaster is trying to query discident.com which is a nice library for performing CDDB like identification of DVDs in order to get information about the movie (i.e title, genre, actors, etc.). DVDRemaster add this information in the files it creates so you can easily locate and classify movies in your library using titles, genres and many others.

There is currently no way to turn it off but we will add a preference in the next release.

Thank you.

THOM123  Thanks Etienne for the explanation. I look forward to the next update that incorporates the disabling feature. :)

SNOWWHITESICKETTE  NetBarrier X5 preempts the connection, giving the choice of whether to allow it or not. (If you got DVDRemaster through the MU bundle, NetBarrier X5 was included.)

ABRASIF  Hi Sarah,

I replied to the emails you sent us. The best thing is to discuss this over email.

Thank you.

ABRASIF  The main movie is in single file. The extras are in separate files so you can include/exclude them as you want when taking the movie on your iPod/iPhone.
