Converting DVDs to DivX/Avi

Does anyone know approximately how long it would take to convert a DVD disk into a avi file? Does it usually take longer to convert it to 1.4gb or 700mb?

Thanks

well 700 megs fits a cd and 1.4 gigs will fit two...but I believe it isn't twice as long for 1.4 gigs, just a little bit longer. Either way make sure you aren't breaking copyright law... happy transcoding :)

depends on software used and speed of system

more compression means more time to encode

2hr movie encoded to xvid using mencoder and done on the fly on a 2800+ sempron system at dvd resolution, about 45mins for a 2hr movie

about 90mins to compress to 700mb on same

not all encoders are as fast as others, some can take hours or days
