Is it just me, or is the new release of BD-Rebuilder much faster?

My version of BD_Rebuilder expired last night informing me to upgrade to the newest beta release, v0.34.04. Is it just me, or is this new release much, much faster?

Hi! Is it just me, or is this new release much, much faster?No, it's not "much, much" faster - unless you inadvertently changed from a two pass setting to a one pass setting or from a higher quality to a lower quality setting...

You're right; I did have it set to one pass without realizing it.

For most movies I am encoding them at a custom setting of 20 GBs. I want the best picture quality as possible without using too much hard drive space. I am already up to 5TBs of external hard drives with close to 800 movies and growing (most are standard DVDs, which are uncompressed). I am using a front projector system with a 92-inch screen. I am always after the eye candy so I don't want to sacrifice picture quality to the extent that it is noticeable to my critical eye. Do I need to do a second pass, and what is the second pass done for? Will it make a difference in the picture quality?

When BD_Rebuilder resizes the video, does it also compress the audio, which would seem like it would provide a lesser quality of audio in such case?

Thank you for all your help! :thanks:

You really should post your BD-RB related questions in the "Rebuilder" sub-forum here...

Thanks, I did not realize their was a Rebuilder forum. I will be sure to try and post in the correct forum next time.
