Hi Cage,

My experience is pretty close to signals re: MPEG-4...there is a noticable slowing of other apps/processes, but not horrible. Like signals, I generally don't do much else during this time. I usually use another pc if I need to do something. Different with MPEG-2, I don't see any difference at all, but again, I don't do much else when burning a dvd.

My system...custom about 2- 2 1/2 yrs old, xp pro, P4-HT 3.0 GhZ, 2 GB DDR Corsair RAM, 3 SATA hdds (all 7200RPM), 320 GB seagate (system) and 2 Samsung 160's. I dedicate one of the sammy's exclusively for rips. I've never noticed a big change when ripping to the system hdd. I'll take a closer look.
