  1. Hello!

    I'm trying to encode video for blu-ray authoring and now stuck with couple of questions related to this website:
    http://www.x264bluray.com/home/1080i-p

    As it stated on this site we have to specify "--keyint 24" and "--open-gop" parameters... but does this really necessarily?
    I think I understand correctly how both parameters works...

    AFAIK --open-gop is special technique simply not to put I-frames every --keyint interval if this is not really needed, therefore saves bitrate, but that special technique requires special feature from decoder, which is not fully supported by various decoders, and if "--open-gop" disabled than we have wider compatibility for our video stream... but the question is:
    Does video encoded without --open-gop remains bluray-compatible?

    And the second question is about "--keyint 24" or simply - 1 second of frames... as we now x264 default for "--keyint" is 10 seconds of video.
    Since "--keyint" parameter does not require special features from decoder how "--open-gop" does and this parameter entirely relies on decoder computational power... the second questions is:
    Does video encoded with "--keyint=240" ( or 10 seconds ) remains bluray-compatible?

  2. open gop is not required.

    keyint 240 is not allowed but will probably work anyways.

    2 second gops are allowed under specific circumstanes.
