I remember it taking about four days to rip a DVD (REALLY high quality rip)

Jonas, when you say "rip" do you mean encode? My G4s rip (copy the
DVD) in under 30 minutes. Ripping isn't their issue. It's encoding to
burn, or to view on iPad/TiVo.
Um, no, not encoding. Transcoding.
Rip == a raw read off the DVD. You end up with a video-ts folder
containing the original MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 Layer 2 (not mp3!)
audio tracks. Depending on the speed of said DVD drive, this should
take 15 mins to an hour, maybe.
Transcode == Decode both streams of ripped data then re-encode them
into some other form.
And it should be noted that if it took a full day to transcode 4 GB
of MPEG-2 data into *anything* on a 2.8 GHz PowerPC G4 machine then
you were hitting ffmpeg with some really screwed up options.
