Because for some the much longer encoding time matters particularly when the space savings is so little. Sure it is a one-time thing however on many systems if you use a -8 the time to encode exceeds the time to rip which will slow down your ripping process. Now if the time to encode is shorter than the time to rip it does not matter. -8 is not a little slower than -5, it is significantly slower. But the size difference between -8 and -5 is on avg. less than 1%. That is a reason to NOT use -8. For some the time difference is more valuable than 1% disk storage. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56657 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
