With handbrake, on my five years old (EDIT: was it 5 years?… yep more or less 5 years) macbook (a 5400RPM hard disk, a 2,4GHz core 2 duo, 4Go RAM, so a far from being the fastest rig existing), it took about one hour to rip The Matrix…
Handbrake shows a progress bar and even gives you a ETA, so if it doesn't display that, there is a problem. It's user-friendly (as much as a free dvd ripper/video encoder can be). Maybe try to get libdvdcss in your handbrake folder, like it's explained
here (there is also a tutorial on how to use handbrake in a link on that page)?
You should relax a bit, stop being aggressive with people trying to help you and try again calmly.
If you throws a tantrum when something doesn't work your way, you won't be able to advance, gain experience and be able to resolve yourself your problems
EDIT : took the time to watch the movie a bit, the encoding quality isn't quite good. The sound is good, but the image is all blocky. I still have to refine the settings :lol: From what I've been told, I need to turn on the decomb filter :rolleyes: (as you can read, I'm a complete newbie at encoding)
@thatgui : In most countries, keeping a backup of physical supports (disks, cartridges, tape, vinyl, whatever) you don't own anymore is illegal. So buying it, ripping it, then selling it doesn't allow you to keep the copy you made.
