Sorry, I think I may have asked this before but can't remember the outcome. I load a BR, blank some audio and video. Is there anyway to tell if my blanking has enabled the remaining content to fit on a BD-25 without compression?

Silly question but I changed my system to windows7 64 bits and re-installed bd-rebuilder from scratch. After at least 3 years of perfect use.
I can't start it getting this message: "MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependecies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid" |

jdobbs, I know this question have probably popped up before but I couldn't seem to find an answer. Is there a way we can "make" BD-RB allocate space better, like try to fit as much as the bd-disc can hold? 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.

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! |

But you can modify this yourself. Just don't use the standard BD-25 target size; use a custom size instead. I believe that the standard size is 23.5 GB, so you could try 24 GB and see what happens. In my case, I have not seen anything over 97%, so if I used a custom size of 24GB then I might expect a final result around 97% x 24/23.5, or 99.06%. Hmm.... maybe I'll actually give this a try and see what happens. The only real downside of doing this is that you increase the chances of getting the occasional rebuild that is too big, and you'll have to repeat the rebuild with a smaller target size. Not a big problem, as long as you remember why the oversize is happening. [EDIT]Caps beat me to the response[/EDIT] |

By using 2 - 5% more of a BD disc, you will not see a difference in video quality. And you risk errors on the outer edge of the disc. Plus they take longer to burn. There's no factor which would make me elect to use the full 23.2Gb of Disc space. That's asking for trouble. I prefer go with 22.0 - 22.5Gb. However if I remove audio tracks, and no encoding is required, and I end up around 22.7 - 23.0Gb, that is acceptable. My LG drive seems to have trouble closing LTH discs around the outer edge. Jdobbs hit the estimation algorithm right on the money!

@omegaman7 Some of us ~do~ see a difference with video quality. Typing that "you will not see a difference in video quality" is subjective to personal vision and experience. Some people have to be "shown" the difference. I'm able to walk into a Walmart or some other store and ~KNOW~ the difference between Video or HDMI output. Many "customers" have no idea of what I'm talking about, but there are those that ~get it~ to some degree and express real ~appreciation~. Only relating to visual and not actual media data as you are. ~Smile~ Hehe!

'SourceCheck() 00006 2501'
@jdobbs,
feedback about impact of the new versions, AnyDVD HD 7.0.3.0 and BD-RBV04009: The new combination still produces the erroneous, false negative 'SourceCheck() 00006 2501', 'Selected source is not BD format' error messages and still prohibits BD-RBV04009 normal processing of my two problem disks. Regards |

Same here. Using BD-RB I shrank the StarWars trilogy (episodes 4, 5 and 6). Each episode was around 35Gb and with BD-RB I shrank them to 13Gb each. No matter how hard I tried to find any degradation in quality I was not able to. I did that on a PC with a 32" Sony monitor and on a 42" Panasonic LED TV. If someone claims they are able to tell the difference due to an extra 2% storage on a 25Gb disk, that is pure fantasy.

Perhaps they have eagle eyes?
I may have an idea why some people think they see a difference. I noticed with compressed sources, Hardware enabled playback(E.g. GPU used for playback) can cause an oversimplified colorspace playback. Which can cause a certain level of artifacting in white and dark scenery. When the CPU is used instead, the video is being played exactly as the frame is intended.

Hi! Quote:
When "King Kong" first became available on HD-DVD, the members here (myself included) were equally impressed with the quality of highly compressed versions of it. See if you get the same remarkably good results when compressing a more "standard", live action only shot on film Blu-ray... |

You're both (RobertM, setarip_old) technically correct. The argument was that in practical use those 2% extra data on a 25Gb disk would make absolutely no difference to your viewing experience when compressing a movie, on top of the fact that you'd be asking for trouble writing so close to the outer edge of the disk. I only gave the example of the StarWars trilogy to make the point that if I cannot see a difference when there's been more than 40% compression what's the point of running the risk of a coaster for an academic gain. We all know that BD-RB produces results that a nothing short of spectacular and it would take a lot more than 2% (that's half a Gig on 25Gb disk) for most people to actually see a visual difference. Technically we know that there would be a difference but we wouldn't be able to see it. I'd much rather just enjoy the movie instead of trying to ruin the experience looking for miniscule artifacts the whole time.
