How fast is the extraction speed in Cinematize?
The extraction speed will depend on a variety of factors, everything from the particular DVD you have to the configuration of your system. The most important factors include the settings you choose within Cinematize, your CPU speed, your hard drive speed, and your DVD drive read speed. When Cinematize 2 is not doing any video decoding (e.g. Decoding on the video tab is set to Elementary Stream or MPEG-2 Program Stream) as in Cinematize 1, the extraction speed will be generally be limited by the speed of your hard drive or DVD drive. When reading from a good hard drive, you can expect to extract at about 10 times play speed. This is around 20% faster than Cinematize 1. When Cinematize is doing video decoding (e.g. Decoding on the video tab is set to QuickTime), performance will generally be dominated by the speed of your CPU. For a G5 system, you can expect to extract at around 2-3 times play speed or faster. For a G4 system, you might see extraction at 1-2 times play speed. G3 systems
