2 bucks a minute seems like a lot to me. 2 hour DVD is $240 to encode? I see guys who run movie sites who do their own ripping and encoding and results look pretty good to me.

Machine does all the work right? We're not talking about editing, just encoding. Seems like a routine task that can be batched once you have it setup for nice results.

How long does it take to rip a DVD and what format does it wind up in on your computer? MPEG 1 or 2? If you want WMV and QT files also can you just convert from MPEG?
Also can you rip on the fly into WMV format or does that have to be done after the movie file has beer ripped as an MPEG onto your machine?
