1080p Standards?

[thezanny]

What is a Good Size for a 1080p BRRIp/BDRip made from a Good BluRay.
I know that there aren't any good Standards said like, pass this xxxxxx bitrate and all , but is 2000Kbps okay? or still need more?
I hope to add these BRRips/BDRips to be burnt on my DVD5/s so that I can store them.

Any Ideas Guys?

I think you'll be fairly dissapointed with 1080p full movies on DVD5. Most people who do that either go to 720p on a DVDr or 1080p to DVD-DL and 192k audio. That should give you adequate bitrate for adequate video quality.

I personally go straight to hard drive and view via WDTV Live. The extra time and expense compared to storing on DVD doesn't interest me any more. Getting 100% quality does.

2000 Kbps is REALLY low for 1080p video, even with H.264 encoding. However, none of us can decide for you what is or is not good quality because it's so subjective. I have a friend who often records over the air TV to MPEG-1 and keeps it. The quality of his over the air signal is so bad that probably 99% of the people would consider it unwatchable, let alone consider keeping it, but it's fine for him. I remember working with a guy who was adamant that 256 Kbps was the lowest bit rate at which MP3 was listenable and that anything below that wasn't fit to hear. Yet studies have shown that most people cannot distinguish between the original source and 192 Kbps MP3. A good number of people even find 128 Kbps MP3 to be of very good quality. So what might be fine for you might be unwatchable garbage for me or vice-versa.

Anyway, if you're going to store these on DVDs (do note that big hard drives are really cheap if you don't want to convert at all) I'd advise that you NOT keep the original high def audio but instead extract either the AC3 or DTS core and keep that. That will free up space for the video. I'd advise keeping the video to 720p if it's going on a single layer DVD, but you could possibly use 1080p for dual layer discs.

Well, thanks for the replies and but, I've seen some people encoding 1080p BRRips in Good Quality with DXVA High Quality and AAC

I agree with Neoaine, i rip to either 720 on DVD 5 or 1080p on DVD9, everything is placed on HD but backed up on dvd blanks (just in case of HD failure). I don't use WDTV but instead I built a HTPC with a custom front end.
