Sleepy Hollow - What the Hell?

[scaronelly]

Has anyone out there copied Sleepy Hollow...If so do you know why the 105min movie is 5GB's!!!!!!! What the hell? Most 105min movie's for me are low 3GB's. I am very perplexed. Did I do something wrong or could it just be that it used a very high bitrate?

[thxkid]

well can be a high bitarte or 3-4 different audio channels recorded at high bitrates like 384 or 448, I ran into that with the 105 minutes star trek 3 and 4 both had 3 different audio's and higher than normal bitrates, had to reencode, still kept the audio commintary though, use DVD2DVDR 1.3.4.

What software and what settings are you using? Depending on what I want done I'll use CCE or TMPGEnc. Also are you using VBR or CBR since the file size is to big for a movie of average length. Using VBR and reencoded AOTC and with all the the menus and everything it ended up being under 3.6G. Post your specs to better help you.

I am talking about the original movie streamed from dvddecryptor. The original is 5gb's. I now have to re-encode with ReMPEG2. This sucks ass and will take 24 hours. Somebody shoot me. How can the original 105min movie be 5GB's?

Open up the Movie .IFO up with IFOedit and let me know
how many audio tracks your see.

It could be that there is:

- AC3 6channel dolby 5.1 that takes up...... 400mb
- DTS 6channel that takes up.................... 400mb
- a french version of 6channel dolby 5.1..... 400mb
- 2channel dolby downmix........................ 200mb
- 2channel director commentaire............... 200mb

If you strip out all but the first one, you would get rid of 1.1GB
