Trenger du en rask dvd ripper til ps3? Kjøp HD DVD addon til xbox 360 ;)

Well luckily I tried plugging in my XBox 360 HD-DVD Drive. Upon rebooting the PS3, the XBox 360 drive came up as the first SCSI drive /dev/scd0 and /dev/dvd was linked to it. The Blu-ray PS3 drive came up as /dev/scd1 and was linked to /dev/dvd-sr1. It's kind of funny that the EXTERNAL XBox 360 drive is being prioritized over the INTERNAL PS3 Blu-ray drive, and I take it as evidence that even the Linux kernel running on the PS3 knows that the Blu-ray drive is a second class citizen.

 

Oh by the way, I believe you can rip HD-DVD content off of the HD-DVD drive. You just can't do anything with it. As far as I know, there are no Linux movie players that can read and play the HD-DVD codecs. Even if there were, you would never be able to play/watch the HD content because of the PS3's hobbled video card. Perhaps if the video card ever becomes emancipated, this could be revisited.

 

Aftermath:

I am now able to rip with the best of them. I compiled handbrake from source, and I am now able to RIP all my DVDs and encode them in H.264 in near real time. I am officially very happy!

 

I would recommend the PS3 + Linux + 360 HD-DVD Drive ripping solution for anyone who already owns a XBox 360 and would use the HD-DVD drive with that. Otherwise the solution will cost you an extra $170 for the HD-DVD drive, and at that price point I am not sure if it is worth it. $500 was my price point for a VERY fast DVD ripper, but I probably wouldn't go much higher.

Hehe, trivelig å se at de fungerer så godt sammen. Hva blir det neste, løver og gaseller leker sammen ute på savannen? Sykt!

At PS3 ripper raskere enn en PC høres mystisk ut

 

Greit om PC-en er fra 1999.........
