What sort of video file sizes are you guys getting with your encodes using the settings posted here in the first post? The reason I am curious is because I am attempting to adapt the settings to another h.264 encoder front-end. On a two hour movie (2:02:43, to be exact) with a bit rate around the 1300kbps (as measured in VLC) the resulting video is 1.1 GB total.
The reason I am excluding the entire *.mkv file in my question is because the audio codecs we choose to encode in vary, thus affecting file size. For instance I am using AC3/DTS to keep the processing down on the Xbox CPU. This audio format, along with two audio tracks and two subtitle tracks total, yields a total size of 1.7 GB for the entire file.
One more thing, I am using a quantizer of 2, as opposed to the less quality quantizer of 3. This allows for nearly flawelss playback and only drops frames maybe once or twice per movie. Of course this is only in areas of the film where there is much movement. What quantizers are you guys out there using?
