No compression needed and still compress

[bibiski]

Hi,

I have that latest version andmy Main movie disc is 24,8gb , and if I remove the HD it will bring it down to 20.5gb . However, the software keeps compressing. Anyone knows how to avoid this since it is taking forever ?

Thanks

What does it mean "keeps compressing". How you determined it? What do you see that make you to believe output is compressed. And how you figured that downgrade from HD audio will free 4.3 gig?

I have same problem sometimes, work around for me is to select 50g and make sure size is no larger the 23.2 and it works and will burn to 25g disc no problems. It must be a bug that makes it try to compress when it does not need it at times, I keep mine set at 50g size all the time and just look to make sure it will fit and keep going. Hope that helps!

I believe I've also seen this, I ripped a movie once and it calculated that it needed no compression so of course it rips at 24+Mb/s. I wanted to redo the rip with a different angle same size title and it kept wanting to compress the movie taking much longer and ripping at 7-8Mb/s.

Hi bibiski,

You should choose "BD50" output to avoid compression always.

If u don't have a 50gb disk what's the point of having it at 50gb to avoid compression?

What Fengtao was saying is if you don't want your content to be compressed, set output for 50Gb.
It has nothing to do with having disc or needing run to the store to get one. You could be ripping to your HDD...

So, what you are saying is to rip .iso to HDD using output set to BD50 for main movie only and then burn to BD25. If file size is less than 25Gb, you can burn the .iso file to BD25 without compression. This forum seems to recommend ImgBurn for burning the image file to disc.
If you write an .iso file to HDD and then need to compress it more to get it on a BD25, can you compress it a second time?

What are you talking about - second time? If you ripping main movie with BD50 settings, there would be no compression - just extracting a movie.
And yes, ImgBurn is the way to go, and not just for .iso - for burning of everything.

Yes, you are correct, I didn't explain myself adequately.

I was asking that if you did extract and compress to .iso for some reason, could you compress it again when burning to disc?

I'm not sure where are you going with this, but yes, you can compress second and third time if you want. Would I suggest doing that - no. Every time you doing compression, quality of your content deteriorates in geometric (literally) progression. If your second compression is for use with iPod, or Phone, or similar mobile device with screen inch by inch kinda size, most of the people finding quality of second process acceptable. But if you want to stretch your second production over 54" plasma, you will be very disappointed.

This is a bug that was introduced in ver. 7 It was not present in ver. 6 which works just fine. It shouldn't be a stretch to fix as it worked once before. I know what you mean by setting the output to BD50 for movie only to avoid compression, but you shouldn't have to. Ver. 6 recognized a movie under the max. size for BD25 and would not compress. This is just a software recognition bug and should be easy to find. I'm not sure why the developers are avoiding the error.

bmiller this is more of side effect of the newly implented full disc to BD25 than anything and you need to remember this is still in it's infancy as a feature. That being said if you have used Windows for the last 15+ years you should use to using a working program that has flaws that are fixed over time. In fact this is a reality for most computer programs. There are so many different combinations of hardware out there that inevitably a percentage of users have problems. That's why on here your asked for you rig specs and you DVDFab logs. That helps them narrow it down to common factors between users that they can look into.
