flopguy;I don't have DVDFab platinum or gold so I can't give you the speed on those.
On my 98 computer.Pentium 3.
AnyDVD with CloneDVD2 takes about 1hour 10 minutes average to rip & compress a copy protected DVD to HD.Then about 10 minutes to burn to a backup DVD.
You probably know this but that is from a DL comercial DVD aprox 8GB to a 4.36GB to fit on a single layer DVD disc.
