Which processor for dvd ripping etc

Have always upgraded the pc myself but have to say that I have lost track over the past few years of the progress on processors. Dual core was about as fast as things got when I last upgraded my pc.

We are moving to a new house which is going to be run for Cat 5, gigabit switch, NAS, TV's with DLNA etc etc. I am looking to rip a whole bunch of kids dvd's onto the NAS and the thought of sitting there for 3-4 hours to do just 1 dvd is putting me off to say the least. From other websites I see that the geeks can get a dvd rip down to about 15 minutes or so.

Other things I use the pc for are editing raw photos from my DSLR and then the usual home office stuff. No gaming at all.

So any recommendations for what I will need in terms of processor, RAM, mobo and possibly a new dvd burner plus anything else I have forgotten.

Cheers.
