I've been working on this one rip for about 9 days now, nonstop. I've tried 3 different resolutions (from 89:1 to 133:1 compression) and each time it's been favoring a fast motion encode for about 70% of the movie. I don't know what it is about this movie; it's not particularly fast motion.
I figured "it must like this FM encode because it's just the right size for reaching my 700MB constraint." So what I did was added a LM encode that would come out to be about the same size as this fast motion encode. It only wanted to use this same-sized LM encode like 0.2%!!
So apparently it likes the FM encode for reasons other than its size. Next I added a LM encode that would have approximately the same diff tracking rating. The size wasn't right though, so the FM was still favored 70%.
What I'm trying to do now is remove this FM encode (by overwriting with a copy of the most favored of the LM encodes). But I know a movie without any FM suffers, so I added 2 more FM encodes in the hopes that I could keep one that Fair Use only wanted for 20% or less. The new FM encodes were one half and one double the bitrate of the original FM encode which FairUse wanted to use for 70% of the time yet the total sizes of all 3 Fast Motion encodes are all pretty much the same!
This is what's really got me confused.
A FM-97 encode and a FM-170 encode are coming out at about the same size. So when I delete that one that was going to be used for 70%, one of the other FM's gets promoted to 70%.
Does anyone have any insight into the criteria by which FU chooses how to utilize each encode?
