How long do I have to wait for Handbrake?
It’s been close to an hour now. When I selected my source, I just selected the disc, not the individual folders. Anything I can do to speed this up or is something just wrong?

I had the new one. I just downgraded and I’m trying again.
New info: DVD I was trying was a week old, fresh off the shelf, wouldn’t work. Just popped in Goodfellas and boom I’m ripping. Anything I could do on the new one?
From the Handbrake docs:
This depends on the Video encoder used(H.264, Mpeg 4, Xvid), the settings used and the hardware in the system being used. Mpeg 4 and Xvid encode video significantly faster than H.264 however H.264 can often lead to higher quality video for the same file size. Typical encode times can be anywhere between 30mins and 24 hours (sometimes more on a low end system) for a 2hour video.
Oh sorry I wasn’t clear on what was taking so long. On the first (newest) DVD I didn’t even get to the encoding part, it was stuck on opening/getting/reading the source. It got the source on the old DVD within 2 or 3 minutes. I waited an hour on the first one and it never opened the source.
Oh yah, that part… you’re right. It seems to take just a bit too long to do that part. Just about when I’m done waiting, it comes up (usually less than a minute in any case.)
Update 2: Every DVD I have put into 0.9.1 has worked, except for TDK which came out last week. When I put that in, instead of scanning the titles like it does with the rest, it says Opening New Source, and won’t ever scan. All my other DVDs I just open the source, and it scans the titles.
@robmandu Have you ever had to wait like an hour for it to open a new source?
I imagine TDK has some new type of copyright protection then. Doesn’t surprise me. Give em a few weeks and they’ll crack the new protection.
@queenzboulevard, nope, nothing like that.
