50gb->25gb Compression Results

[DiabloZoe]

I've been using Lightning recoding with success, until today. Compressing Social Network ends up with a file 14Gb instaed of the target 22Gb. Tried 8.0.7.3 twice, and now i'm trying the latest beta version. Everything set to software. No settings have been changed from many successful operations. Maybe it's just this disc. The log indicates a proper target size, but the real size is only 14gb.

you are not using the original disc? there is no protection on this disc?

Same thing with the newest beta version. I'm now going to try with Lightning encoding turned off.
This is main movie only to BD25. Main movie file size is 25.1 Gb.

I'm just wondering if the OP is going by the initial filesize after DVDFab reads it and then selects Main Movie wondering why the size is smaller? If this is the case, it's because the Full Disc is the size you're looking at and expecting it to be when the Main Movie selects only the movie portion of the disc leaving the extras out of it. It will naturally be a smaller size. If this is indeed what you're doing, there is no problem. If it's another issue altogether, I apologize for my impertinence.

Hi,i agree with you.
When the size is smller than 23.145G,it will Uncompressed to BD25.
Like this link,It's very helpful:

[benito]

having same issues with other movies (Alien 4, Buried); will post a new thread with results.

[wizzkid]

Not yet, I'm going to compress the movie again and then send the files and logs as requested. This is the only title so far with this type of issue.

???

Just wondering did anyone ever find out what was going on?

Well, turning off lightning option took the files from 13.8 gb to 17.2 gb, an improvement, but something is still wrong since it should be 22.461 gb.

Post internal logs again and as well could you go into common settings of DVDFab and use the Save info files to save them to your computer. Then zip them and attach to a post reply. No need to fill your name or email address but a buy link for the Blu-ray is helpful for the Developers as this seems to be a compression problem for this Blu-ray

[wizzkid]

Yes, version 8.0.6.8.

[AGJ]

That was the first thing I thought too. Still doesn't change anything. Results are still the same.

@jjd99d
I was refering to wizzkid the OP of this thread

[AllNight]

I did a copy of the Social Network yesterday and same as you, I did a 50 gb to 25 gb compression; however mine actually came to 22 gigs.

On version 8.0.6.8 ??

Go to the A/V Codec settings located in common settings of DVDFab and uncheck Lightning-Recoding to see if that works
