Encoding when it doesn't need to

[ron spencer]

Why is CloneBD re-encoding? For example, if my output size is set to 25GB and the space I need is only 21.3, CloneBD should not encode at all...it should demux and remux at full quality. Why is re-encoding being done? In addition, my output is quite poor doing this. thx

The same problem here

I did choose a part of source disk, target is BD 25, the size of source is about 13Gb. Clone BD is reencoding this to 2.7 Gbyte size.. The result quality is very bad, of course.
I hope, it is only a bug, not a feature

Must be a bug...it should not encode when it does not need to.

You should post up a logfile for the disc that way they can take a look at what's going wrong. When the disc finishes hold down the 'Alt' key and it give you the option to either email it direct if you have a mail client set up or to save the logfile which you can then attach to your post on here.

I think the upper limit for BD25 needs increasing, for example i re-encoded a 48gb disk to bd25, stripping out all the extras and unwanted audio, leaving 2 main movies, and it came in over 2gb smaller (19.4gb) than with fab (21.7gb).
p.s. it needs option to keep main menu.

It is not re-encoding, it is transcoding.

 

[DaMacFunkin]

It decompressing a compressed format, and encoding it back to (mostly) the same compressed format albeit at a lower bitrate, is that not re-encoding?

no. Transcoding is transcoding, encoding is encoding

I added this issue to our bug reports.
Thanks.

whatever you call it (re-encode, transcode) it does not matter...the program just needs a sanity check in it like CloneDVD...CloneDVD will say "Target size sufficient encoding disabled". With CloneBD in this case, just demux and remux.

V1.0.2.3 still transcodes when it does not need to. 50GB output selected...file size 23 gig. Transcode occurs. Can anyone else check?

Version 1.0 2.6 still recoding, when not needed

According changelog the version 1.0.2.6 should be free of this issue - isn't.
