@lauguru: I'm assuming you're targeting BD25 since you didn't say. For maximum video quality encoding parameters, just do this:
0. Delete your BDREBUILDER.INI file if you've been messing around in there. 1. Click Settings > Encoder Settings > (uncheck) Automatic Quality Settings. 2. Click Settings > Encoder Settings > (check) Highest (very slow). 3. Click Settings > Encoder settings > (uncheck) One Pass (ABR) Encoding. To further help get max video quality, keep only lossy audio like this: 1. Click Settings > Setup > verify that "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact" is unchecked. This gets you the highest level of quality without having to mess with hidden options or downgrade audio (assuming you don't possess golden ears). As for MULTIPROCESS=1, that may or may not speed up your encode, see jdobbs' full explanation here. As for ENCODE_QUALITY=6, I can't find this fully documented, but I don't think it does what you intend (maximize quality). Maybe someone else can chime in as to what this does, but it looks like it might be an HD-DVD video-encode compatibility limiter, which won't give you better quality results. But setting this will override Highest quality settings input into the GUI (which change the .INI file to contain ENCODE_QUALITY=3), so I don't recommend it until someone who knows for sure can enlighten us. |

ENCODE_QUALITY=4 - Quality: Ultra High Quality (Extremely Slow), Two Pass - Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF [4-way] - Audio Settings: AC3:1 DTS:1 HD:0 Kbs:640 This is what I use, slow yes, but getting excellent results. Last edited by varekai; 14th July 2012 at 11:25. Reason: typo |

I would recommend never going above ENCODE_QUALITY=2 for 99% of all encodes -- but there is a "3" (available from the menu as "Highest (very slow)") and an undocumented value of "4" (unbearably slow mode for those with anal tendencies). "5" is also undocumented and it means "Ultra fast (lowest quality)" -- it is also meant for testing and I use it when I don't care about quality because I need it to finish fast for debugging.

hello! jdobbs then recommend not pass ENCODE_QUALITY = 4 for the highest quality without the appearance of certain errors, I understand it? MULTIPROCESS=4 ENCODE_QUALITY=4 Quality: Ultra High Quality (Extremely Slow), Two Pass - Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF [4-way] - Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640 |

If you don't care about time... ENCODE_QUALITY=4 (leave out the spaces) probably won't hurt. But I'm not sure you'll see any noticable difference when compared to ENCODE_QUALITY=2 or ENCODE_QUALITY=3 -- and it's going to run a lot slower.
Multiprocess is probably best left at "1" (automatic). But if you compare the two and "4" is faster, it's okay. It depends on your system -- but sometimes higher numbers can actually be slower. |

just stunning! I expected to process the main part of the movie the entire disc. I have run with windows 11 and VCL player ... What a difference! .. almost imperceptible!
although I will continue with more later!: Multiprocess = 4 ENCODE_QUALITY = 4 Quality: Ultra High Quality (Extremely Slow), Two Pass - Decoding / Frame serving: X264/LAVF [4-way] - Audio Settings: AC3 DTS = 0 = 0 = 1 HD = 640 Kbs |

In order to enable GPU acceleration (which is really only possible with the decoder portion), you will need software like DGDecNV (which is worthless on your ATI card) or maybe using LAVFilters for DirectShow decoding with Hardware Acceleration enabled : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191

use open GOPs encoding, further improves the video quality for bd25?
I'm reading out there, which if activated, improved video quality, but could not work the functions of the menus. Is that true? or only affects the dvd? only be used for the movie alone? Last edited by lauguru; 12th August 2012 at 12:09. |

hello
for resize and crop someone could tell me that the file using commando HIDDENOPTS.TXT, to fully stretch the image up and down without losing any of the image of the sides, I mean basically stretch the image without losing data bdrebuilder (is WIDE_OFFSET=n n = .1-2.0 - Adjust start of clipping: 1=centered (default), .75=(y_start_line*.75), etc. ) Last edited by lauguru; 21st August 2012 at 17:14. |
