Because I don't burn to disc, I save all my encodes on hard disks, which I access on my computer w/Kodi/MadVR etc. Encoding to BD9 w/lossy audio (for most titles) saves a ton of space without sacrificing picture quality, which is the main point of BDRB. It does an absolutely fantastic job doing this, and I've been using it since it's inception. I also use BD9 just in case I have the need to burn, and those DVD+R DL discs will play on my older Sony Blu-ray player ;^). Of course I use BD25 for newer titles w/7.1 lossless audio (the John Wick series for example) and those encodes are indistinguishable from the originals.

You did Rocky as a BD9 here https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...25#post1905725. Was this just a test or do you encode to BD9 as well?
