But, that doesn't tell me how to use this new function though. HOW, do I use it or use it to tell me what the CRF will be at a certain size, etc...?
You can't use FRIM with CRF when prediction is needed because FRIM doesn't support frame-accurate seeking.

3840x4320?
I doubt it would be important enough to add if it doesn't already exist.

Yup, that resolution is insane. I don't know what they think anyone would play it on. It's not like there is such thing as 4k 3D as any sort of standard. Let alone at 60fps.

For us folks with passive 3D where TAB is potentially better, that would be great!

I can't imagine how it could be better or worse. It's pretty much exactly the same (at least for full resolution).

To paraphrase someone
Opinions are like ... Everybody has one
Better/worse is opinion

No offense meant to anyone

You miss the point. There is no "opinion" involved. A 3840x1080 SBS picture will give you exactly the same quality as a 1920x2160 over-under picture.

I realize that, but some will feel that one is better than the other based on what light goes on their receiver
Much like which sounds better, DTS-HD, True HD or AC3 at 640
Like I said, no offense meant
Sorry for the OT

Maybe he is referring to half-SBS and half-OU? I don't see how that makes a difference though.

Some claim SBS is better, but you're still halving the total pixels either way. It just determines the direction of the artifacts.

Could be. For those who are encoding to a passive system that displays alternate lines (for each view), cutting the horizontal resolution via half-SBS might make it look worse (since it's also halving the vertical resolution in playback). I'm not positive that's what happens exactly, but that's what it looked like when I tested passive 3D in a store.

jdobbs, the import mode should not accept files with higher resolution than standard bluray?



Edit: I think it's hard because BDRebuilder depends on the creation of pseudo structure, which is also non-standard.

No. It currently doesn't. Is this a UHD source? That's something I need to update.

This is along the lines of what I have heard, although I admit I am not an engineer.

The format exists for a reason though. I don't think there was a coder out there sitting around thinking "what can I do to make my life more difficult while gaining nothing...."

But SBS is much more common, and as long as you stay with full-SBS there would be no loss. The only time you would use half-SBS for playback on a standalone player would be if you had created and were using an MKV or MP4 file and was forcing 3D during playback.

I have a question about the different decoding/frame serving options in the setup menu: With the option "FRIMSource" is for me (Intel i7-3770) the decoding is more quickly/powerful, than with the option "X264/LAVF" (70 FPS vs. 45 FPS; CPU usage 100% vs. 40%), but I'm not sure, is the Intel Quick Sync in my system enabled?

BD-Rebuilder v0.50.17
- Windows Version: 6.2 [9200]
- Working Path Free Space: 866,32GB
- AVISYNTH Version: 2.6.0.6, Ok
- HAALI Splitter: 1.9.42.1, Ok
- FFDSHOW: 4504, Ok
- FFDSHOW VC-1 set to "wmv9", Ok
- FFDSHOW MPEG2 set to "libavcodec": Ok
- FFDSHOW AVC set to "libavcodec": Ok
- X264: Ok
- AFTEN: Ok
- FAAC: Ok
- MP4BOX: Ok
- WAVI: Ok
- TSMUXER: Ok
- FRIMEncode: Ok
- FRIMDecode: Ok

Which decoding/frame serving option should I use?

If one is faster than the other -- use the faster one. It only effects decoding, and two properly decoded frames should be identical.

Something you can also try is DirectshowSource with LAV installed. Then go into the LAV Filters Video Configuration properties dialog and try each of the "Hardware Acceleration" options. You'll see that "Intel Quick-Sync" is one of the choices.

Thanks.
I tried, but somehow it did not work with DirectshowSource with LAV... I decode only 2D sources, so I think this is not a problem, when I stay with these 2 options:
- X264's internal LAVF
or
- FRIMSource

CRF results...

Just a quick comment about how WILDLY different the file sizes are coming out for me in compressing Blu-rays at a CRF of 18. I was just REALLY surprised at the differences.

For example, I did 'LEPRECHAUN 3' (of all films) and the original movie file size was about 17 Gigs and only compressed to about 9 Gigs, which was larger than most of the ones I've done. Then, I did a newer Blu-ray with the movie file size about about 19 Gigs and it came out to 2.3 Gigs! WOW, what a difference. Granted the Leprechaun film has a lot of visuals and action and the other film is more sedate visually, but still...

So, if all my settings are the same and I am re-encoding using a CRF of 18, the 'perceived' quality should still be roughly about the same, right? Even with the extreme disparity in file sizes?

Subtitle sync

I have made numerous encoding attempts on IP Man 3 Blu-ray, but the subtitles simply will not sync ... first time I have come across this issue. The subtitles are in sync when playing the AnyDVD HD rip. What elements should I address in BD-RD to attempt to correct the subtitle syncing?
