so not sure if any of thouse options are messing with it. if you did a fresh install of bdrebuilder then I guess thouse options shouldn't be there ??
Yes, I did a fresh install of everything, but came out with the same result (undersized BD9), so I added my preferred options back in (and came out with the same result again).

AUTO_QUALITY=1: This is not a hidden option that you add to your .ini. BDRB changes this setting when you enable/disable Auto Quality settings. 0=disabled, 1=enabled. I had Auto Quality enabled in this instance.

ENABLE_TEST=1: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...77#post1526277. This enables the Movie and Menu's mode and blanking feature allowing you to remove things you don't want like special features etc. Works independently from the MULTIPROCESS setting.

AUTO_BIAS=2: This is explained here (thanks for the link jdobbs... ;^)) https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...51#post1449851

AUTO_TWOPASSONLY=1: This should force two-pass encoding which I prefer and should result in better picture quality. Takes a little longer but my 2700x processor doesn't mind... ;^)

MULTIPROCESS takes advantage of multi-core processors, allowing more than one instance of x264 (up to 4) when using DGDecNV or DirectshowSource which significantly speeds up the encoding process. Works independently of the ENABLE_TEST setting. See http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/multiprocessing.html.

Actually, you don't need to add ENABLE_TEST for MULTIPROCESS to work. See above...

Exactly!

Thanks for chiming in everyone. If any of my explanations/understandings are incorrect, let me know!
