BDRebuilder - question on improving demuxing, re-encoding, remuxing performance

[mikelebron]

You can see more than 20 to 30% or more improvement in performance if you can split the workload across multiple discs since the operations are very high I/O.

Any chance in bdrebuilder you specify multiple working drives..

1 for source
1 for demux
1 for encoding
1 for remux
1 for iso creation (final output)

Generally you want to read from one drive and write to another for a single task...you would need at least 2 drives for the above but would see huge performance improvement and reduce risk of a dropped frame due to potential I/o contention during an operation.

Thanks

Two drive are more than enough, you need 1 for source and 1 for everything else. Just set source on different drive and destination on different drive.

Destination drive is also used for all other task except source and since they don't execute together, you are safe.

I haven't analyzed the logs but after you reencode you need to remux the audio and video streams into a mts container...thus you would need another destination...plus when you create the ISO there is yet another destination... You would need to specify at least 3 working directories... Two of which need to be distinct drives to yield the benefits....and they are huge! That is unless you use SSD...but then you are slowly destroying your drive.

OUTPUT_FOLDER=p p = Path to a folder to be used for output. e.g. OUTPUT_FOLDER=D:\OUTPUT (it must exist)

Awesome.. thanks.. I also noticed the hidden parms reference file.... I see there is everything I want..

Thanks again!
