Aliens Blu-ray Converting Issues

Post by gamecaptor »

Hello all,
I just finished converting Alien (Blu-ray) with handbrake with no issues, however Aliens doesn’t seem to want to play as nice.

I use I use very slow and film presets with a CQ of 21. Normally a BR conversion will take me 8-16 hours on my PC, but this one had been going for over 24 hours and Handbrake said it had another 24 to go and it had already produced a 12 GB file (the original MKV is 32 GB, so I’m guessing this would have produced a ~24 GB file).
I realize there is a lot going on with Aliens, but it seems odd to me that it would take 3 to 4x as long as any other BR I’ve ever converted.

Here is my last_encode_log

Lots of grain -> higher output bitrate -> more time spent in CABAC -> longer encode times. The slowness encoding this particular disc is quite normal.

Wow, so it could/would end up being as large as the original file then?

It could indeed end up as large as the original (with my settings, and without VBV, it would even have ended up larger). After several attempts at encoding this disc, I gave up and just used MakeMKV instead.

That's not a bad idea. Thanks for your input Rodeo.

I recently encoded this movie too and it finished at 30gb using the high profile defaults keeping the hd audio. It took around 7 hrs to complete by far my longest and biggest encode through handbrake. everything seems to play nice. the remux would of been 35gb so not much was compressed.
