WD TV HD Media Player

i meant original quality. Trying file to mkv now. Seems faster then other programs i tried. the mkv will still be like 22gb for fight club. How do they get it to smaller size but great quality i have viewed? I watched rollerball and it was like 8gb and was fantastic on my LG60 inch.

When I convert BR content into MKV, I'm trying to keep output fole size in 8-10 GB range and 8-10 Mbps bitrate. I always preserve original resolution without cropping - my receiver and TV have capabilities to adjust resolution to a full screen on-a-fly. I letting them to do that...
Also, I removing HD audio - I don't have HD sound system, and do not have desire to have one.
Here's my settings:
BR2Mob ->MKV ->mkv.h264.audiocopy
1-pass (2-pass doesn't work right)
Remove HD audio (if needed)
Framerate same as source
Bitrate: between 8-10 (or more if possible) to keep output size in 8-10 GB range
If DVDFab re-sizing output, I'm changing it back to original in Video Effect Settings
I do use GPU Acceleration. My settings in A/V Codec:
Decoder:
CoreAVC
CUDA
Soft
Encoder:
Soft+CUDA

If you will do conversion on these settings you will have that gorgeous picture/sound as that one you referring to.

Try and let me know how it goes.

Don't know what settings to use, trying other things right now. Trying to find the best way and keep original resolution?

Original resolution??? Or original quality???
You know that you can keep original resolution with much lower bitrate, smaller file size and crappy quality..

Please post your settings & results here so other users will have the information.

Can't wait to try it out!!!

ya i only choose main movie and the top audio wether it is dtshd or dolby true.

[IPopov50]

So will the mkv.remux profile be the same output size as the br or a little smaller?

It will be little smaller because it will remux and produce only main movie with your selected streams. (i.e. if you select only english stream from four total HD audio streams, this selection will shave off almost 10 GB, and so on)

Nah, just in high spirits....

are you high... is that what you're saying What is it "high"???

remux profile is coming. We are testing at the moment. IP, you naughty, naughty boy.

GregiBoy,
you are so accusive...today


@ hanibal
mkv.remux profile is in Blu-ray to Mobile mode ->MKV. There are two profiles: "mkv.remux" and "mkv.h264.audiocopy".
"mkv.remux" will give you uncompressed content re-packaged from BR to MKV container, and
"mkv.h264.audiocopy" profile will produce compressed to order content with audiocopy (Remove HD audio is an option)

The specs say Wi-Fi so I presume that it is networkable but don't even think of trying to play BR rips via Wi-Fi. There is just not enough throughput.

where is "mkv.remux" profile
