splitting a Blu-ray

[cybersharky]

Hi,

To convert a Blu-ray on HDD to x264 using Megui takes on average 8 hours for me.

So my question is: Is there any way to accurately split the video into smaller parts? So I can do 2 hours of encoding at a time.

All my attempts so far appear to loose frames. I've tried mkvmerge, tsmuxer and Clown_BD(based on chapters).

And, no, hibernating the pc is not the solution I'm looking for.

Yes. Do it Avisynth with Trim().

Is there ANY drawback from using this method?
Will this method have a negative effect regarding rc-lookahead?

PS:
I'm new to this , so go easy on me...:)

I don't think so. I mean it will have a tiny negative effect on overall efficiency in terms of GOP placement, but since each input will be "complete" it shouldn't damage efficiency much; you're not suddenly forcing x264 to run out of frames.

Thank you for your reply!

I 'll be doing some tests and report back.
