Neat! Hope you enjoy those as well, and thanks for saying so. 😃

Really sorry to add extra bloat. I’ve struggled to get any of Hal9000 amazing edits to blu ray (even following the suggestions) without major blocking and lag of video. The only solution I can find is to re-encode via Handbrake.
I am a complete newby to this stuff. I’ve played with tsmuxer and muktiavchd.

I wondered if

A. Anyone has had much luck?

B. If I reencode, Any ideas about the RF I should set? (I’ve heard RF of 0 - lossless - can actually make it worse quality wise)
And I can get them videos to work with a level of 4.0 - should I be using 4.1?

That’s discouraging to hear, but I don’t have any advice. 😐

It’s a small issue. They work plugged into PS4, though the media player is poor and sadly I have a Sony TV and again, usb is terrible. It would simplify life to watch blu ray. I have managed to get your ESB to work by re-encoding with handbrake, though I think I did a lossless RF, ultrafast encode with a 4.0 level. Looks good, but not quite so good as your original (I don’t think, but it is a hard comparison to make). I was wondering if 4.1 would be noticeable better.

It will work, but I’d like to watch these in best possible quality (so far I have a feeling they will be my go to cuts, and really looking forward to your ROTJ).

On a side note, your 97 ROTJ Audio, gout sync (for 4k83) still has yub nub rather than victory celebration, and wasn’t sure if this was intentional (like I said, utter newby to any video alterations, so I have probably misunderstood what the audio file actually is).

Thanks for the reply

Easier question: what settings would be as close to yours as possible, in the hope the encode simply removes whatever issue is causing the blockiness

I know you use a 4.1 level (at least that’s what tsmuxer tells me when I load your files) - I just need a suitable Rate Factor to ensure that I encode with (assuming constant rate - though if I use max bixrate then that is apparently irrelevant, but would take longer as I understand. Then I simply need to set a max bitrate / file size?)

I know many people are no longer using blu ray, but I will happily share with anyone if I can get this to work.

I can’t fathom why Compressor’s BluRay video stream output baked into an mkv would cause these problems. But I don’t really have a way to test it.

I tried that approach once, but the results don’t look very good at all. It might be the grain layer I slapped over top of the films. Piping the project through Compressor from within Final Cut looks great. But rendering it to a lossless file first looks terrible.

Me neither, but newby to all this. And I only discovered the site 6 months ago (window shopped for a while, let’s say). I’ll make them work, I’d just like to make them work in as high a quality as possible. I haven’t the Google Drive space to share the iso files altogether if & when I do, but I’m happy to share. My aim was to make some very simple menus if possible, but the file to blu ray is most important. And I’m just glad of these edits existing, so I am just querying. Really not a complaint.

As to quoting the above, I just Wondered if you may have a suggested Rate Factor as you mentioned a loss in quality when trying to do a lossless encode. But if you have no suggestions I shall have a play around. As to whether 4.0 or 4.1 makes a difference, Google was little help. Conflictig ideas (following one trail of thought no, following another yes). So again, I can play around with this. I was more hopeful that any others who may have previously commented in this thread have ever made it work. But thanks for your replies, and patience for the newby’s excessive questions

I really don’t remember. Sorry. Although anything you care to do to bring them into BluRay shape I’m in favor of.

The differences between the original and SE endings are too great to cobble 97 audio to fit the GOUT.

Not an oversight, just doing what I intended from the mission statement.

As for disk burning, I have been successful with DVDFAB for burning disks for my blu ray player. Haven’t had one issue with it thus far.
