I will try plugging in Neverar’s version later when I get home. I am looking forward to just giving it a watch too.

What do yall think would be a good target size or bitrate for a final encode to share?

Is 4+ hours(1hr8min + 1hr30min + 1hr30min) of all 3 reviews too much for a BD-25? I have done some tests with 2 pass x264 targeting a DVD9 AVCHD at about 16000kbit for just the Phantom menace review and thought it looked nice. I was thinking maybe doing an AVCHD target quality for each review and then a single BD-25 containing the 3. A BD can allow for much higher bitrate spikes then a DVD9 could handle so would probably look better. I am not sure what people would be interested in.

Here are the settings I was trying. I have not done many of my own encodes at this quality level so I am just trying to figure out the best option. I would welcome any suggestions.
