Re: Seeking friendly advice on encoding DVDs & BluRays for Kodi playback via HDMI & HD

Re: Seeking friendly advice on encoding DVDs & BluRays for Kodi playback via HDMI & HD
Just ran some tests, to see how the conversion/audio codecs help/hinder... ac3 vs. aac, didn't seem to make any difference, although online postings indicate that aac might have some issues with the codec, so I guess I will stick with ac3.
Next will try and see how the bitrate changes things.

Re: Seeking friendly advice on encoding DVDs & BluRays for Kodi playback via HDMI & HD
Ok, so yes, my next pass at Deadpool, with a single audio track, AC3, Mixdown from 5.1 to Dolby ProLogic II, and I got the sought after 2.1Gb. In general... (again, friendly opinion/advice wise)... is that a good choice for mixdown and audio codec to use? Or, if I think I might ever want to use the ...

Re: Seeking friendly advice on encoding DVDs & BluRays for Kodi playback via HDMI & HD
ouch!
wow... ok, thanks.
so, there's a feature request for Handbrake, that maybe I should put in?
(a rough predictor/estimator tool)
those I guess are likely because I selected "auto passthrough", sort of assuming audio was tiny...

Rollin'... thanks. Where can I easily see that, or, in the future perhaps predict it?

Re: Seeking friendly advice on encoding DVDs & BluRays for Kodi playback via HDMI & HD
Thanks guys, appreciate the thoughts. Yes, if I was around 2.5Gb, I'd just try other movies... but I'm not even in the ballpark. ;-) Sounds like I want 1080p30, 265, and to tweak the RF for size, and let the encoder run all night with a high processing setting for quality... logs: www.bienhaus.org/d...
