Re: [mythtv-users] cd ripping slow? -> What's to be expected.
I have now set it tot low quality (indeed, that's good enough). There is some improvement but not spectacular. I would prefer that the "raw" ripping stepping is done as fast as possible and the compression is done later in the background so that I can continue using myth. A possible answer to that is of course "Well, go ahead and code it yourself" but since i'm not that good at programming I guess I just have to wait (or live with it)...

If that's the case, wouldn't ripping the raw data first and converting at an appropriate time (and priority) be a smarter approach?

Well, for that CPU, 6x ripping is about right. Remember that ripping the CD isn't just about raw data transfer from the disk, it's got to be converted from cdda to mp3 in the process.

Try using hdparm on your cdrom / dvdrom / hard drives, hdparm –d 1 –c 1 –E 48 -a 4096 ‘cdrom|dvdrom’ "Let ye without segmentation fault cast the first int!"
