So back in the day I used to use DVDDecrypter and another program (I think it was Fair Use Wizard) to rip DVDs. There was a lengthy period while DVD Decypter removed the encryption, and then it would take like 1 hour per episode or movie to re-encode it to an MP4 or DivX file. I just opened up some of the old DVD ISO images still stored on my hard drive and re-encoded them with Handbrake. With the processor and Graphics card I have now, it takes about 2 minutes to re-encode an entire TV episode. Processing power has come a long way.
