Using NVEnc encoder One Pass CQM, Constant Quality Mode (CQM): 19.
Look in ALTERNATE.TXT and make changes as needed. See the new configuration parameter:

mBitrate=Maximum bitrate (and VBV buffer size) for VBR video encoding. Uses system defaults when not specified.

OK, thanks for the update. The card has arrived, so I am waiting for the two adapters to arrive (one HDMI and the other DP).

I'll try it with the HDMI adapter and if it doesn't show anything, I'll do your trick.

UPDATE: The HDMI->VGA adapter will arrive in today's mail.

The GTX-1660 is installed and operational. The HDMI->VGA converter worked great. No having to start out with HDMI. This is the adapter that I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-to-VGA...53.m2749.l2649

I had previously downloaded the latest driver, so once the system came up, I installed it.

Now, when I get a chance, I'll have to play with UHD->25BD conversions.

Good to know. I may have to pick one up. Switching for bios changes can be a real pain in the butt.

The initial MB BIOS boot screen showed up, so one can hit the appropriate function key to get into the BIOS settings (which I didn't do as I had no need).

UPDATE: I had to some some rebooting, so I checked that I able to get into the BIOS. Yep.

OK, I'm ready to do a UHD to 25GB BD test backup. The trouble is that with so many posts regarding settings, I don't even know where to start to get a complete backup, with menus and special features. A sample INI file would be helpful. Thanks.

That is an easy one
Mode: Full
Settings:
Encoder - NVEnc
Output size - BD25
Quality - Highest (Very Slow) - One Pass (CQM)

Choose your favourite Languages/Subtitles in Setup (I prefer to keep Audio intact at that target size)

And you are ready to go

If you are in need of a Quickie, choose Good (Fastest) in Quality settings ... but that's real quick then

The default settings are the best for UHD backup. Just select a UHD disc structure for input, and it should all go automatically. If it's the first time trying -- you'll have to select NVENC as your encoder.

I had previously reported that with version 6.1.18 MakeMKV reported errors with discs encoded by BDRebuilder and could not create MKVs of the files. I went back to 6.1.16 and I decided to try again with the newest version, 6.1.19. Unfortunately, this also does not work. Here is the log from MakeMKV:

This happened to be a disc that was a compilation from multiple DVDs. It has also happened with discs that were made from BDs.

Can anyone point to something I can change to get this to work correctly. For now, I have to go back to version 6.1.16 to get this to work for me.

Thanks.

Turns out there were some other settings as well: Selecting ENG for audio and subtitles; allowing more than one stream for both.

Otherwise I am impressed with the result. While I can only currently see the result on my 1080p monitor, viewing different portions of the result looked great; no macroblocking. I burned to a BD-R to look at it.

The process started @ 00:07:40 and ended @ 01:50:09.

Got a new HDMI-->VGA converter today. Yep. It works with the BIOS screen too. So it appears it was the converter that was the issue.

To anyone who may be having the same issue, I got this one from Amazon. It was actually cheaper than the one I replaced (I got that one at Best Buy).

There was also an issue with resolution resizing every time I switched between computers with the KVM -- and that has gone away with the new adapter too. I'd never suspected that was related to the adapter. Looks like I got a twofer with this fix!

I don't have that issue with the one I bought.

My new one doesn't have the issue either. It only happened on the old one.

It was never a big problem -- because it would correct itself in about 5 seconds after switching over. But I'm glad to see it gone with this new adapter.

I followed your discussion and I'm still confused about your setups and why you need VGA adapters. (or help me with pictures )
KVM I remember from the early days as an administrator in the datacenter. (The newer servers have that build in.) Why do you need that? You have that many computers?
If it's windows machines, why not use RDP? Or VNC, if it's Linux? You'd only need power and network cable

Yes. At one time there were 7. Now it is down to three, with a potential fourth that can be turned on. When I got the KVM, VGA was the norm. Plus, as mentioned, the HDMI input to the monitor goes to the AVR, the DVI to the OTA STB and the VGA to the computers.

Because it is faster, and easier, to hit a few keys on the keyboard to change to a different computer. Whatever I have active on the computer screen stays active.

Yep. Much easier, more functional, and quicker. With mine all I have to do is hit the scroll-lock key twice and select the number of the computer I want to access.

I tried using VNC for a while way-back-when -- and I just didn't like it. I switched back to my KVM in less than a week. Now I only enable it to access my server when I'm away from home for an extended period.

Well, I guess I can't argue with that.
It just isn't suitable for my setup (Apart from my main PC, one is a VM, the other is a machine 2 rooms away.) RDP does a pretty good job here.
My wife would kill me, if I'd pull video cables through the apartment

But be aware, with VGA cables you problably won't see QHD or even UHD

Mine is Scroll Lock twice as well. But I normally hit the Up or Down key.
