I had to look that up! I guess you didn't mean that it's a lazy, stupid person, but that it does nothing :-) That seems like the way to go then, thank you. The -9 compression level meant that it took twice as long (11 minutes), and saved only another 0.2% on the file size, so I guess I'll stick to the default compression level. I'll probably try a few other levels just to learn what they do to file size and cpu time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110496 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
