Forgive me if this question has been asked before but having just built a new computer I'm curious to know which is the quickest method for creating a backup copy of a BD disc to a BD-25 blank disc? Would it be quicker If I rip the original to an ISO and then burn a partial copy of my chosen title? OR Copy my chosen title direct from the disc to a BD 25? (Partial Copy) I don't want a clone copy, just the main title.
While I don't follow your use case exactly I am close to it. I find it faster to read from the disc directly vs making the ISO and then creating a disc. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the feedback, all comments are useful I've always done direct from disc rips previously which was painfully slow but hopefully my newly built computer will help. For what it's worth I have a Ryzen 5 (Six Core Processor - 16 Gbs RAM) Windows 10 64 Bit As yet I haven't tried copying on this new system but hopefully I will see some speed improvements.
As an update to the above I can confirm that speed is no longer an issue and what previously took around 5:30 hours to complete now takes less than 2 hours. I've only tested it with one movie but it now seems I have another issue whereby CloneBD is not working correctly in W10 64 Bit. I've created a new post to discuss that issue.
I'm using an AMD FX-8350 Eight Core CPU at 4.2GHz (overclocked 200Mhz per core) 32GB Corsair DDR3 1,866MHz RAM, and an MSI GeForce GTX 980TI 6GB video card. You want a really good video card that is new. You can enable CloneBD Hardware acceleration with it with the video cards most recent drivers. And when I first transcode a bluray rip using AnyDVD and CloneBD is just starting to transcoding it. it says one hour & 15 minutes but 30 seconds later my NVidia CUDA cores kick in to hardware accelerate the transcoding process, and it only takes 25 minutes to 30 minutes on a Solid State Hybrid Drive for the movie rips storage to fully transcode the bluray to fit on a 25GB Verbatim BD-R. Also I burn my blurays with CloneBD at 16x which only takes a half hour to burn. So you should really consider if you don't already have one a really good video card. That's what helped me a lot.
Thanks for the feedback, I haven't tried overclocking my Ryzen 5 CPU yet, it's a bit too new to go messing around with it, maybe something for the future perhaps and once I've learnt how. Actually a new graphics card is on the agenda but it will have to take a back seat for the moment due to financial constraints. Interesting you mention burning at 16 x speed though, if CloneBD works the same as CloneDVD surely it's better to burn at a lower speed to get a better copy? I might be proven wrong but from my understanding the slower the burn speed the deeper the burn. Maybe I just imagined reading that way back when but I've always burned DVD's at 1 x for that very reason, not that DVD speeds are an issue, usually 15-20 minutes from start to finish. I did try ripping 'Hacksaw Ridge' to disc last night as an MP4 and that took about 27 minutes. Quick question.... When buying a new graphics card what should I look out for exactly regarding spec if I want to take advantage of CloneBD's hardware acceleration?? Is there some specific feature I need to look for??
Nope, any recent one will work. Obviously the more recent the better. And the higher the number too. Eg: GTX 10xx > GTX 9xx, and GTX 1080>1070>1060>1050 Sent from my Nexus 6P with Tapatalk
