I know keeping HD audio was recently added, a request to have this feature extended to the custom file size option. Reason being, i watch all my media via a popcorn hour, my backups are all either 5 GB, or 10GB, give or take a little depending on the length of the media.

Some shorter movies/TV episodes could be backed up with movie only/HD audio @ 720p. If someone decides to back up a 3 hr movie with DTS-MA @ 1080p to a DVD-5, should they really be backing up their discs in the first place? Thanks again Jdobbs!! |

How about an option to play a .wav file at the end of processing, to alert the user that the operation is complete.
Yea, I know its trivial, but given the processing time, its nice to keep things moving along without more downtime than is necessary when we have alot of movies to do. I won't hold my breath on this one. |

I vote for a "shut down after rebuild", since I would not want to hear an audio alert while I'm trying to sleep in the middle of the night or early morning. Also, the "after glow" of the humming from my I7 920 has warn off, so the noise from it silenced after completion would be a welcome one.

I wasn't planning on getting up in the middle of the night to change discs... just something to hear when I'm doing something in another room while awake. Like I said, I won't hold my breath for this feature to be implemented. Last edited by GaPony; 2nd April 2009 at 05:49. |

It would be nice if BD-RB had the intelligence to *not* re-encode the video stream if it fits in the destination size as-is. I'm currently testing v0.20.05 with Ghost in the Shell, and by simply removing one audio track the data would fit on a BD-25 without re-encoding.

Hmm...wondering how you did that. I tried it with just two separate folders, and get an error (failed to encode) after extracting audio/subs. It appears that I can't get two instances of x264 to run at the same time.

I have 4 folders BDRB1\2\3\4 (each contain everything in the bdrb distribution). I have 4 work folders bdwork\1\2\3\4 Simple as that... Very strange, you shouldn't have a problem running 4 instances of x264. There is no limit to my knowledge. Are you sure you have each instance of bdrb set to run with differet work folders\source folders etc. Running at least 2 is a good idea because the 1st pass in x264 only uses just over half of the cpu anyway so might as well put it to use. |

Yeah, the source and work folders are different, however the source drive happens to be the same - but not sure that has anything to do with it. I'll tinker with it a bit and see. But I definitely don't want to crash the system and have to re-do an encode pass |

At encoding time it doesn't matter at all that it's all on the same drive. Personally I were using a core2duo I'd just have 2 instances...since there's only 2 threads it would slow encoding down to a degree running 4 x264 copies (i would expect) |

Could quick encode of extras use CRF with the same settings that are set in quality (--ref --psy-rd --trellis etc.)
- OR - Could there be an option in ini and/or gui that sets the quality of the quick extras that's separate then the main movie quality setting? |

I am looking forward to when the currently greyed out <One Pass Encoding> will allow us to run 1-pass crf encodes for the main movie with "reasonable target file size accuracy" (say between 90 ... 100% of the specified file size). It would significantly reduce the overall encoding time. |
