Well excluded entire bdrb folder, still don't work. Even disabling AV entirely doesn't fix it. Doubt it is the issue, it wasn't back when i was on win7

... just an added thought...

That is why I was so interested in trying the x265 Archive feature. I basically want the best way to archive (back up) my Blu-rays with a high quality (CRF 18 or so) but with as small as a file size as I can. And, I THOUGHT that with the new x265 backup, that would result in even smaller file sizes than with that standard x264.

But again, when I tried to do that with these archive settings (I'm not sure about the last one):

ARCHIVE_ENABLE=1
ARCHIVE_LIMIT=1
ARCHIVE_CRF=16
ARCHIVE_265=0

... and I believe with the 'High' default setting, I got just about the exact same size of the original Blu-ray, but with the added pleasure of waiting like 12 hours for it!

So, I'm gonna TRY to run another encode now. I'm using about a 19 Gig Blu-ray. We'll see how it goes and I'll post that last command deal.

Oh yeah... since I always use LAVF for the encoder, I cannot choose CRF encoding, so that means, and I THINK I had to do this last time I tried this, I need to switch it to DirectShow, right?

Thanks!

Also, how do I get it to do a CRF encode and set the value and NOT set the output size...??? It doesn't LOOK like I can do that, but can only do what you were telling me about by setting CRF and the BD-25 size to SEE what the resulting CRF is. But, how do I actually set the CRF and discount the output size...? (BTW, now that I think of it, that COULD have been my trouble before because I may have inadvertently left the output size set to BD-25

)

Look for FIXED_CRF in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.

For the record, the hundreds of encoders I did a film called "The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box" was the winner in terms of compressibility. If they were all like this, I save a lot on hard disk!

The only explanation for difficult sources to be compressed for no apparent reason, that is already highly compressed.

Only the movie on Blu-ray.

Yep, just NOW found that... DOHHHHHH!

Gee, I wonder if that is why ALL of my bloody CRF encodes have come out the size of a full Blu-ray...???

Lathe · 24th July 2016, 21:25

Hmmm, I added this to the config file:

FIXED_CRF=18

But, it is still showing the selected output size as BD-25...???

Interesting Soneca, thanks!

This looks like a nicely reduced MKV encode that likely retains a lot of quality. I cannot use the 'Slower' setting because the resulting encode would not be compliant with my OPPO player. But, this is an excellent example.

Lathe · 24th July 2016, 21:37

I also noticed that this hidden option is no longer listed:

AVCHD=1

What did that do again?

Ch3vr0n · 24th July 2016, 21:43

afaik that setting forces strict AVCHD compliance

Lathe · 24th July 2016, 21:45

Okay, the only way I could see to eliminate the output size was to chose the 'Archive' mode (x264) But, isn't that pretty much the same as the normal setting as if you were doing a 1-pass CRF encode with no output size specified...?

Yeah, makes sense...

Lathe · 24th July 2016, 22:18

Okay, here is a real puzzler...

So, since I cannot seem to use CRF encoding with LAVF, I went ahead and changed it to DirectShow. I ran the Blu-ray movie file (m2ts) and I got this error:

[14:04:17] - Failed video encode, aborted

Now, I NEVER use that feature with AnyDVD and besides, this is only the movie m2ts file, so there are no 'titles' short or otherwise. I first tried this with the Archive function using CRF and I got the error. Then I did it again, but this time NOT using the Archive function but using the normal 2 pass, selected output size, etc. I got basically the same error (the above log file)

Okay, so now I'm thinking that I normally only use LAVF, but I can't use the CRF 1-pass, so I leave EVERYTHING exactly the same as the above FAILED encode, but I change back to LAVF. And, guess what...??? NOW, the encode is proceeding just fine with NO errors!

So.... WHY...??!

Here is the current log file with the ONLY difference is that I went from DirectShow back to LAVF:

***EDIT

So, in other words, if I could bloody USE LAVF with the CRF 1-pass encoding, I should be fine and be able to archive like I've been asking about. BUT... since I can't and apparently HAVE to use DirectShow, I get an error...

So, now what...???

@Lathe
If you have FIXED_CRF=18 set then select the two items in the screencap and you can disregard the size.
Select your own preset if you wish

Thanks Gonca, but I will have to wait until your picture is 'Approved' until I can see it. BTW, I already DO have that in my config file as I mentioned earlier.

Why not? Just adapt the preset making it compatible with the Oppo features.
I'm no expert but this example profile below based on preset slower never had problems between AVCHD discs(1080p) and players of various brands.

--preset slower --bluray-compat --tune film --level 4.0 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.2 --vbv-bufsize 14500 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --me umh --b-adapt 2 --ref 4 --bframes 3 --pic-struct --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709"

That's ok. All targeting is out the window when CRF is selected and FIXED_CRF is set.

Oh, so you mean that even though the output size is still showing before encoding, as soon as I start the encode it will bypass or ignore the output size?

What did that do again?

It's not a hidden option -- it is set from within SETUP.

Also too, did you have a chance to see where I got the error (AnyDVD error, although doesn't apply) with Directshow, and then with the EXACT same settings it ran just fine when I switched to LAVF...???

I included the two logs above.

Sure is weird...

It WOULD be nice if I could us LAVF AND still use 1 pass CRF 18, but BDRB doesn't allow it though...

Lathe Registered User Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,100	Oh yeah... since I always use LAVF for the encoder, I cannot choose CRF encoding, so that means, and I THINK I had to do this last time I tried this, I need to switch it to DirectShow, right? Thanks! Also, how do I get it to do a CRF encode and set the value and NOT set the output size...??? It doesn't LOOK like I can do that, but can only do what you were telling me about by setting CRF and the BD-25 size to SEE what the resulting CRF is. But, how do I actually set the CRF and discount the output size...? (BTW, now that I think of it, that COULD have been my trouble before because I may have inadvertently left the output size set to BD-25 ) Last edited by Lathe; 24th July 2016 at 20:48.

So, since I cannot seem to use CRF encoding with LAVF, I went ahead and changed it to DirectShow. I ran the Blu-ray movie file (m2ts) and I got this error: [07/24/16] BD Rebuilder v0.50.17 [14:01:33] Source: __VID_00000 - Input BD size: 19.72 GB - Approximate total content: [01:39:06.523] - Target BD size: 10.45 GB - Windows Version: 6.2 [9200] - MOVIE-ONLY mode enabled - Quality: High Quality (Default), Two Pass - X264 Tweak(s) enabled - Decoding/Frame serving: DirectShow - Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=192 [14:01:34] PHASE ONE, Encoding - [14:01:34] Processing: VID_00000 (1 of 1) - [14:01:34] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00000] - [14:04:16] Reencoding video [VID_00000] - Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080 - Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 142,574 frames - Bitrate: 11,860 Kbs - [14:04:16] Reencoding: VID_00000, Pass 1 of 2 - Encode failed.

Lathe Registered User Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,100	... just an added thought... That is why I was so interested in trying the x265 Archive feature. I basically want the best way to archive (back up) my Blu-rays with a high quality (CRF 18 or so) but with as small as a file size as I can. And, I THOUGHT that with the new x265 backup, that would result in even smaller file sizes than with that standard x264. But again, when I tried to do that with these archive settings (I'm not sure about the last one): ARCHIVE_ENABLE=1 ARCHIVE_LIMIT=1 ARCHIVE_CRF=16 ARCHIVE_265=0 ... and I believe with the 'High' default setting, I got just about the exact same size of the original Blu-ray, but with the added pleasure of waiting like 12 hours for it! So, I'm gonna TRY to run another encode now. I'm using about a 19 Gig Blu-ray. We'll see how it goes and I'll post that last command deal.

Lathe Registered User Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,100	Okay, the only way I could see to eliminate the output size was to chose the 'Archive' mode (x264) But, isn't that pretty much the same as the normal setting as if you were doing a 1-pass CRF encode with no output size specified...?
