Has anyone used X264 to produce a replicated BD title?

Sadly, if compliance isn't at least "likely", then I really doubt I'll use x264 (unless some sort of solution appears). Even if it involves going with a slightly less high quality but compliant encoder, the quality gains wouldn't be worth the amount of sleep I'd lose (or the consequences of putting a dodgy disc out there).

The best-looking disc in the world done with x264 would be pointless - not to mention a liability! - if it creates playback problems.

Chengbin: on past DVD projects, I've normally just filled the disc up - I just don't see any reason not to when you're guaranteed a certain amount of space. A little headroom is good since the sizes can be a little unpredictable, but re-encoding a bonus feature to be 3% smaller to get the whole thing to fit is really no big deal with the speed of today's SD MPEG-2 encoding.
