Anyone know of site that shows how different hardware performs with DVDShrink? I'm thinking about putting together a dedicated box for it and so I was wondering what the performance differences are for AMD64 and P4s, and memory size and such.
Maximus I have used dvd shrink both on my computer (Athlon64 3000+, msi k8t neo fisr2 mobo, 1gb micron ddr 400 ram) and on my dad's computer that I built him (p4 3.0 ghz w/ HT, aopen mobo, 1 gb crucial ddr400 ram). I have found that Shrink seems to use the HT technology of the P4 very very well and seems to give a little faster speeds than my athlon64. However this may all change when a stable Windows XP 64 comes out. As much as its blasphemy because i really dont like intel much, I have to say that Shrink runs very very fast on the P4 with HT. I still like my A64 though cause when 64 bit OS and apps start to come out Im really going to see a performance increase. So in that way you might want to get an athlon 64 because in the future say like a year or so you might be wishing that you had a 64 bit processor.
No offense.... But what does your signature have to do with anything? He wants to know what kind of system Shrink performs best on or some performance analsys'.

Maximus825, Well there you go 2 different recommendations on 2 different systems. The important thing is you need to build what works for you. Eather system discribed are very good for video work. Theseeker as well as me are very knowledgable on this subject and have been doing this a long time. So go out buy your parts and build your system. Report back on your progress.
I have an athlon (the original) 800 MHz with 384MB of PC133 RAM running 2000 pro and it took me about 40 mins to do a deep analysis of Eternal Sunshine and the yada yada.... another 35 or 40 to encode... So.. it would seem that you can halve your time by quadrupling your processing power. Hehehe. I ducked in to check out this thread as I am going to build a cheapy box... Gonna try the new AMD SP 2400+, 512 DDR 3200, XP Pro, nvidia 5600. I don't think it will be a bad box for a little over $200 (I already have some parts to use) I'll try to remember to let you know how that one does after I get it going.
@dannyv Your gigabit network, does it cut down the file copy time of those DVD gigafile(VOB) from one pc to another by a factor of 2 or more?. Is the transfer speed fast enough that you can actually shrink or burn backup reliably in comparable time from one pc using gigafiles from the other pc over the network?. That would certainly bring a giga-giggle to my face, thanks. :D
