Two Pass or CRF?
In regards to getting the best quality I was wondering whether fellow bdrebuilder users use the two pass option or the crf option? By looking through the forums I see two pass highest quality is popular but those threads are 2-3 years old and crf tends to be popular these days. So I'm asking what quality settings people use today? Any help would be appreciated.

A: If you prepare for physical BD media you have to adhere to BD specs, this asks for VBV, and 2-pass satifies that restriction and makes best use of available bits.
B: If you intend to play from file only you can afford CRF which may overshoot BD specs. I am rather playing safe, so I encode following A. A satisfies B, but B won't necessarily satisfy A.

Trading in HD audio for more H.264 space,
assuming that you are aiming at BD-R 25GB you should be fine.
