Hello
Absolutely right, it's immaterial. If it were color and had lots of action,
it *might* come out as big >as 1.8 Gb. If a dvd is encoded at a wasteful
and meaningless average bitrate of 5000 Mbits/s by >adding white noise, you
are going to have to add white noise to your encode to get the bitate
up to that level.
Do you have any intention of helping people who have a problem on this list
or are you just trying to throw around sarcasm?

No. _As I've already said_, I have actually tried ripping some high action
colour dvds since I've been having a problem, and yes, they were undersized.
The fact that you formerly managed to make some bogus encodes that were
huge is irrelevant.
Again, no. I said nothing of the sort. I've been having a problem
with the output files being undersized. I have never ripped a dvd that has
been oversized. The first few dvds I ripped came out perfectly sized, at
the exact size expected at the bitrate chosen, as predicted by dvd::rip.
This was the *normal* behaviour.

and meaningless average bitrate of 5000 Mbits/s by adding white noise,

People here seem to think that my dvds are being ripped at perfect
quality and that to expect them to be any bigger would necessitate the
addition of bits of data that were not present in the original film (white
noise?). _This is not the case_.
The output files are at a significantly lower quality that the original DVD.
Of course they are. The size has been shrunk by almost a 5th. However,
of the past 2 weeks, clearly what has happened is when I've tried to rip
something to be of a quality 1830kbits/sec has for some reason actually
outputted at a much lower bitrate quality than I'd like, and consequently a
smaller output size.
Recently, the quality of the output is lower than it should be for the given
bit rate, and the files are smaller than they should be.
What I would like to know is why all the first few films I ripped
came out at the size predicted for the bitrate exactly, and why *all* the
films I've ripped since then have been considerably smaller.
Does no-one seem to see the pattern I have described? NORMAL
behaviour: first few films I rip, come out perfectly (NOT oversized), as
predicted, e.g. as with calculation in post I submitted yesterday. ALTERED
behaviour: all the films after that come out undersized, and not of the
quality they should be for the bitrate chosen.
I really don't think this is part of the variability of output
sizes some people here expect, as there is a definite pattern trend here
which I've described which is clearly not due to random variablity. 930Mb
as opposed to 1300Mb is a significant shortfall, and is a good example of
the problem I've had. I will post the results of re-encoding the dvds that
previously came out fine in a few days.
Any help with what the problem would be appreciated. Have I accidentally
changed some setting, etc? Is there any debug output I could post to see
why this is happening?
Thanks
