No prob.

I used HR setting 16 for a constant quality re-encode last night and the resulting file is about half the size! It only included the DD 5.1 soundtrack, but I still think that might be too much compression. :)

Maybe I will stick with something closer to the default setting. I suspect using the constant quality option is a better way to go to resolve this particular incompatibility I'm having and re-encoding process takes less time as well.

I still need to try my highly-compressed file first.

Sorry. When you specified a BD player and an average bitrate, I assumed that you had tried unsuccessfully to remux the MKV to a BD structure and burn the result to disc, which I do recommend you try. I knew which setting to use from experience with x264, for which Handbrake is a GUI. If you are recompressing, I doubt that using a CRF rather than two-pass VBR would be the cause of any playback problems.
