Blu-ray file structure

DVDFab works great.......

I've swapped software now using AnyDVD and Vidcoder which will do DVD's and Blu-Ray

Took a few days but converted my Starsky & Hutch box-set to MP4

Took about 12 mins to convert each episode to MP4 which are just over half the original file size

How's the quality and size eyerex?
I use anydvd and vso video converter. I can get a DVD converted mp4 .264 down to about 800 Meg's with good quality.

Is 800 Megabytes from a SD movie ?

What are using to encode GPU or CPU ?

Just backed up Quantum Of Solace SD

Original about 4.3 GB



X264 1.39 GB
Profile High
X264 Tune Film
Constant Quality 20



X264 800 MB

One you start going into small file size you start seeing the detail going from the hair and and skin doesn't look as smooth you can play about with the x264 settings to keep the detail but it ramps up the time it takes to encode which even on a i7 can go from something like 20 mins to 4 or 5 hours or more per movie

I'm normally happy with encodes which are just over half there original size

PS X265 is on it way which will give even better compression ratios so fingers crossed encoders start turning up soon

You're smallest file still looks good to me.
I have used handbreak to compress a 1gig video down to about 800 Meg's with same quality as the 1gig file. It does take a long time. Really not worth it.
I'm doing it to put all my movies on the plex server.
Thanks for letting know about plex, great program.
