I noticed that whenever I back up a BD-50 to BD-25, it's always around 21-22gb, instead of the maximum 25, which I know isn't really 25gb, but at least closer than that. Is there a hidden setting that I must enter? Also I do not allow hd audio, just dts core for audio.
If you select 2 pass encoding, this is the most accurate method. Every disc will be different though, taking into account action scenes, darker movies, many audio tracks, etc... so it is "safer" to stay below the maximum BD-R capacity of about 23.5GB (25,000,000,000 bytes) .
You can try different "CUSTOM_TARGET_SIZE=xxxxxx" settings to try and reach your desired output.
The visual gain will probably be miniscule at best, but you can fill up that disc to the max if it makes you "feel" better!
