Does anyone have any guidance/advice on bit-rate for Blu-Rays?
I go lossless on UHD because I am after max quality and encoding those takes forever. But for normal Blu-Ray I had been using 6mb using 265 (I stick to 264 for DVD).
So I am wondering if going to say 12mb for 1080p is advantageous. I got the 12mb since it's double of 6 obviously but also because 12mb is recommended by YouTube for 1080p.
I am going back and reencoding some of my favorite movies to add more audio tracks (I was not adding surround for some time) so I was going to bump the bit-rate.
And yes I have run some tests and I believe I see some noticeable quality uptick in 6 vs 12 but it's not night and day and it could just be a placebo effect.
So I thought I would sanity check myself with the community on that topic.
Thanks!
