I'm using Windows 7.
In my case I also have a real constraint that it is directly related to the bitrate: my 3D TV has a limit of the bitrate it can playback (like all other TVs obviously) which is about 25-27Mbps. Imagine spending two days for a conversion and then discover that the bitrate is above that limit and it is stuttering or worse.
If the movie is noisy + too long, I could use the highest allowable bitrate eg 24Mb/s and be assured that I will get the best quality I can (for a given preset/encoding time investment).
For such cases of physical constraints, I think a high bit-rate limit would be a very useful feature while using CRF -but obviously that will have to be implemented by the x264 developer guys.
Anyway, is it possible to make BD3D2MK3D encode just a tiny part of the movie -preferably from the middle to avoid the credits, in order to test and decide the best settings?
P.S. Despite the difficulties, your tool is still very helpful, thanks and congrats.
