I’ve never ripped CDs or DVDs before for any reason and am curious how this works since I have some stuff I wanna see about backing up but am nervous about ruining the disc. I’ve tried looking this up, but every time I do, I obviously am searching for the wrong thing because I have never found the info I’m looking for.
2x drives were hot stuff back then. Now it’s mostly minutes, depending on the speed of your drive and the size of the disc. i’ve tried anydvd. it workd but it has been shut down. infos:(https://dvdfab.at/resource/dvd/anydvd-hd-alternative). pity.
Christ do I feel old now. CDs and DVDs are read only, so you won’t do anything to them by ripping them. It’s just a copy of the data onto your drive and then probably a compression step of some sort. Nowadays it probably takes less than five minutes for the whole thing. I remember taking at least half an hour on a 2x drive, and then mp3 compression taking another hour or so.
