Ok, here's the deal:
I've been working on backing up my blu-ray disks for Star Wars (the complete saga set, movies only), and I've managed to make ISO's for these so I do not scratch up the disks further.
So far, so good. It's when I try to convert the movies alone to the .AVI format that gets me stumped. Let me explain...
I setup the parameters for the rip like this:
AVI container (2gb- is UNCHECKED)
Codec: DivX (changing this did nothing, XviD did something similar)
Resolution: 640x272
Encoding Method: 1-pass fast or 2-pass high quality encoding (in this case it didn't matter what method)
Video quality: Customized (set with Bitrate 3000, bits/pixel about 0.72)
Frame Rate: Same as source
No split
Audio: MP3, 48000 Hz sample rate, Bitrate 192 kbps, 100 percent volume, Dolby Pro-Logic II channels
Subtitle: (forced only) Direct render to video
Now, all of this gives me a projected filesize of about 3 GB, which is what I was shooting for. HOWEVER, this is not the file size I got.
Running the blu-ray rip process with the above parameters only gave me a resulting AVI file about half size what I was expecting. Changing a couple of the parameters above did little to nothing to get the filesize I wanted.
(Using the physical disk itself did nothing either!)
Was there some settings that I missed somewhere? Would having the wrong sound set (DTS HD Master/6.1 in this case) had messed things up somehow?
How can I get the desired result that I wanted?
I would appreciate any help in trying to resolve this problem.
