How long does it take to import a DVD or CD?
Most DVDs take around 20-25 minutes and most CDs take around 5-10 minutes to import using a Kaleidescape Movie Player or Music Player. The Kaleidescape Speed Reader utilizes two DVD/CD-ROM drives to achieve import speeds of six DVDs or sixteen CDs per hour. Several factors affect import performance. A scratched or dirty disc may take longer to import or it may fail to import altogether. If the import device is simultaneously in use for playback, or if the Ethernet network connecting the import device to the Server is congested, imports may take longer. (We don’t use the term “rip” because it suggests “ripping-off” the content owner, and we require — through an end-user service and license agreement — that you must own any DVD or CD that you import into your Kaleidescape System.
