Interested in building a rig especially for encoding BD50's to mkv's and MP4's.
What are the ideal CPU and RAM specs for this? Should i be looking at pci-e NVE SSD's for fast read/writes or is this aspect not THAT important compared to CPU/RAM specs? Is a HDD spinner setup fine? (thinking of long term longevity here for constant reading/writing as this rig will spend most of its time just ripping/writing/reading/calculating/writing etc)
In general what is the most important to consider if one is to build a rig especially for remuxing and encoding?
This is just for fun as i have discovered a new hobby here - i enjoy messing around ripping and encoding so want to get into it with a good pc setup for the purpose. I want to make mkv's to watch on the big screen telly, MP4's for my phone and tablet and whatever new devices come along. Probably will make a set of videos to watch on my laptop as well. So lots of encodes of the same disc for the various devices to do, hence wanting a purpose built machine for the job as it seems some of these encodes can take many hours at a time.
Thanks for your opinions.
