Using the Super HQ 1080p preset on 2 bluray movies ripped using the same version of makemkv, the finished sizes are incredibly different. I expect a bit of a difference but the movie "1917" finished at 5gb while the 2nd movie, "Knives Out", finished at 18gb. Initially, both movies were over 30gb. Does anything in the logs indicate why such a huge difference in the finished sizes? BTW, both finished movies look great. Also, if by looking at the logs anyone sees a spec that could be improved it would be appreciated. I'm looking for the highest video quality at a reasonable size. And 18gb's is fine. Just curious about the different sizes. 1st post so I apologize in advance for any errors. thanks
