There's an old thread from a couple years ago - jdobbs suggested using Alternate output but these are not BD-compliant (slices, vbv-maxrate, GOP size, not sure what else is out of spec) even with the ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 line added.
Any other way to get a compliant 1080p stream out of 4k files?
Thanks in advance! |
All you have to do is make sure that the hidden option:
ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1
... is enabled. It should be enabled by default. But you can add it just to be sure. (See HIDDENOPTS.TXT for more details)
Remember though... you can't just "import" the files or choose an ALTERNATE output option that keeps the original. They have to be reencoded to ALTERNATE output to get proper settings. Setting #10 in the default ALTERNATE.TXT file might be a good choice: "MKV Container, 1920x1080, 640Kbs DD5.1".
