[edit]. Oh, I see, you used a forced CRF. That just means you had a lucky guess at the CRF needed to hit your output size.

The target size will show in the log, even if you've chosen to ignore it.
Oh, I see (I think...) So, when choosing CRF 1 pass generally, you WOULD select an output size and BDRB would then approximate what CRF value to use to render that output size, right?

BUT... if you use FORCED CRF as I have in my ini, THEN BDRB, although showing whatever output size was entered, goes ahead and just uses the Forced CRF and ignores the output size, right?

This is just frigg'n AWESOME man because this is the very first time it has actually worked without throwing that stupid error!
