Ripping A DVD On Surface Pro?
Has anybody done DVD ripping on a Surface Pro or like-powered machine?
Using an external drive, of course... I'm wondering how long it would take compared to my desktop PC, which can rip a DVD in under 20 minutes - sometimes well under.... Or my Atom-powered netbook, which takes more like 45 minutes for the same task. -- Pete Cresswell |

Per Paul:
That suggests the optical drive is a potential limiting factor. I have one optical drive here which is rip-locked. I have another which works OK. I would agree with the drive being important. When I change between my VAIO laptop's internal drive and a "real" (as in Samsung SH222 or SH223) the ripping time gets cut roughly in half. -- Pete Cresswell |

I still wouldn't place any bets with USB3 ripping at 20 minutes or better. But if it could, I would be totally surprised. -- Bill Asus EeePC 701 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows 2000 SP5 - OE6 - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 |

AIUI, it must decode the data on the DVD and convert it to the format you specify. That could take some time, so CPU speed and threading efficiency would be the constraints. Am I right? HAGO I too would think so. Although Paul sounds right on track if the device was connected to the internal buss like drives and optical drivers are normally. Although the Surface has no such option and you can only connect up externally through USB. Through a dang serial USB port no less. No, I don't see it ever happening ripping in 20 minutes. -- Bill Asus EeePC 701 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows 2000 SP5 - OE6 - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 |

As for what will work for an external drive: The maximum speeds are 480 Mb/s for USB2 and 10x that, 4.8 Gb/s, for USB3. See http://www.diffen.com/difference/USB_2.0_vs_USB_3.0. And according to http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/#bluray_speed, "According to the Blu-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as BD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps)." USB2 should be OK for playing Blu-ray, and should be fine for reading and writing up to 6x or 8x, since reaching 12x (close to 480 Mb/s) might not happen consistently in the real world. -- Gene E.
