For example if an episode is 40mins long then it probably will have 1-6 pieces.

Episode.1.part1.avi
Episode.1.part2.avi
Episode.1.part3.avi
Episode.1.part4.avi
.... and so on

but all adds up only around 200 - 300MB. And there isn't just one episode in the entire series Lol.

Yes, also I have encoded two blu-rays locking to DVD9 size and I fear they might as well be a little oversized too.

You are right. I will begin locking to a 5-10 mb margin to be on the safe side as well.

I want to know the difference in ref frames,seems default is 3.I have had some movies (bluray) that have 5 sometimes 4.So the more the better,I assume? A default bluray encode will take my pc about 5.5 hrs.Does using more ref frames mean way longer encode? Also does trellis 2 be that much better? I read it makes the encode take way longer,correct? Thanks to who helps!

3 is optimal. above that starts placebo. your choice. options with higher number will aways take more time. your choice.

I am going on a few that I have down loaded,they had 5 ref frames,the movie was pristine but sometimes that has to do with how well the movie was made in the first place.Bluray from disk is 4 ref frames.I have made pristine bluray encodes with your program at default and about 10gbs.

At L4.1, 1920x1080p, the max reference frames allowed (within the Blu-Ray specification) is 4. See Reference Frames. So, it seems unlikely you ever encountered an official Blu-Ray with more than 4 reference frames (though stranger things have happened in this world).

More reference frames isn't necessarily a placebo, but generally the drawbacks outweigh the benefits; there's scenes where up to 16 reference frames could make a difference, but it's often hardly worth the extra encoding time, and would leave your output file unplayable on most hardware. Or software, for that matter. Lots of HD players out there (including TMT and KMplayer) can't even handle an increase in B-frames properly.

So, keeping your reference frames at max 4 for your 1920x108p content is probably your most optimal, overall bet.

Any news about the Muxing stalls that are happening with AVCHD encodes?

I don't know,just habit of 2 pass and wanting to control size, after using TsMuxer to mux vid and audio I see what the size was(usually 20/24Gbs movie only) I try to stay close to half the size, and it never fails me to come out with a movie that you can't tell the difference. I always do dvd's with crf20.Blurays I only do the video and mux the HD audio back in after with TsMuxer.
How would you know what size,lock the size in mb just like 2 pass?
I may try one over night,crf 20.

Thanks thats very good info.I have got a few mkv's 1920/800 that had reframes-5. and trellis-2 I get this info from "properties" when watching in mpc-hc.When you have a "real" bluray loaded in mpc-hc it always says reframes-4. here is a example:
Video
ID : 1
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.1
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames
Muxing mode : Container profile=Unknown@4.1
Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Duration : 1h 57mn
Bit rate : 11.8 Mbps
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 800 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 2.40:1
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits
Scan type : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.320
Stream size : 9.47 GiB (87%)
Writing library : x264 core 95 r1592 95aacc4
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 /

of course it goes on,I didn't want to fill up the page,I'm sure you seen it.I've always left them at 3. Thanks for the link

You're not at max 1080p resolution there (only 800 vertical), so more reference frames are allowed. If you want the precise calculation, have a look here. Your device may or may not support the use of extra reference frames beyond the formula, but should you ever desire playback on something else, you may be sorry you went too high.

If I go directly from the .m2ts on disc to save myself the ripping time, am I risking errors in the video?
