Mencoder OSX 0.7.7 (Mac OS X)
Well, I use mencoder in Linux and in OSX so I can compare; on the same dvd on an iMac G5 1.8gHz I get a mere 10 fps encoding from dvd. Exactly the same command line on a Toshiba Satellite P4 2.4 gHz gives me 35 fps.... uhm, and I believed the bs about the ghz of the G5 being worth more! In fact I can confirm (also checking with md5sum's, maple etc..) that a single G5 at 1.8 ghz is about half or a third the speed of a P4 2.4ghz. Sorry for the bad news! A good news is that for anything else (OS related) my iMac is far superior to a PC-based OS. Ah, if only OSX would be released for PC's!!! Also note (a bug?) encoding from dvd is MUCH slower (about half speed) than encoding from hd (I mean I first copy on hd the content of the ts folder and then encode). I can't say if it the dvd's fault or mencoder, or OSX. [alert admin]

Did you recently upgrade OSX? Try trashing the preferences of handbrake (~/Library/Preferences/....) Did you try wiping handbrake out and reinstalling? Are you trying ripping from dvd directly while before you were ripping from image? (or viceversa) [Try first opening the dvd with dvdplayer and then quitting dvdplayer without ejecting] (Just the usual suspects).

Doesn't say ANYTHING about Mac speed
Maybe G5 is such a powerful processor but anyway my wishes apparently will be soon granted since Apple is migrating all the platforms to Intel! And out there already people are alpha testing osx on X86! Anyway I realize that I must have touched a sensitive issue: just keep it cool: what makes an Apple an Apple is not the G5, is the OS! (and the design too)
