Yes you can. I had sync issues on one set until I changed audio
formats. I think it took about 4 rips before I got it right.
i5-2400 @ 3.10GHz using 64-bit Windows 7 on 8GB RAM. I think an hour of
dvd program takes about 10 minutes, while a blu-ray episode (at 720p)
takes about 25-30 minutes. That last experiment took 1 hr 27 minutes to
create a 1GB 720p file with x265. I re-ran with x264 and ended up with
a 1.45GB file that took 30 minutes.
Started years ago using a drawn out process using several programs
until I found dvdfab, then switched to handbrake and finally vidcoder.
Even reauthored a few dvds in the process, converting R2 to R1 and
HDDVD to Blu-Ray. I don't think I'll ever need to do that again but I
still keep a copy of ifoedit just in case...
WIthin the last few years I started ripping a lot of my own discs just
to have them available on demand. (This started with Doctor Who!) I
usually queue several of them and let the computer work while I'm away
from the keyboard. Annoying part is determining which episode is which
while I'm naming them. It's all time consuming, but I've got it down to
a routine.
