Filesize Output !

[ToiletDuck]

Helluh,

Just did a Movie of 180min long containing one DTS-HD track .

The bitrate wos set at 14000 kbits/sec / x264 2-pass (no fast 1st pass) / Very Slow preset ..

Now hybrid predicted an filesize of prox 23700 MB / 23,7GB ..  The output container wos set to M2ts, so the filesize prediction should be on point , a few hundred MB more or less.. 
So , let's say the final filesize could be 24GB max...

Yet, the outcome wos like 2GB larger than predicted    → 25600 MB !
Ussually when i choose m2ts as container hybrid prediction is nearly flawless , again take a few MB more or less... BUT NOT by a +/- of a few → GB !?

Atm doing another run (for the 4th time !?) using other x264 preset...  but.. weird.. that the very slow preset doesn't respect filesize... that's the MAIN reason why one should chose slower to veryslow preset , to respect the bitrate/sec given !?

no debug ouput,..... probably a problem estimating the ouput due to the dts-hd track.
(there should be no real difference in bitrate accuracy due to preset choice)

Yez, it's becoming clear to me that i will have to extract every single audio track from an movie file, to calculate it myself... 
Because the audio track on itself creates / needs additional space in a m2ts container on top of the added filesize of the Video track   

So if the audio track is like 5GB , thats like 5GB + atleast 1-2GB once added to m2ts .. These containers adds / waste allot of space imo!

Yes, I spend month years ago (2012) to come up with the files size estimation for m2ts content as it is today.
Container overhead can be rediculas high with m2ts.
=> have fun

Ps.: for what its worth, I attached my old caculations,...

Especialy when Large Audio tracks are involved IMO !
I wish hybrid could make up with HD-Audio tracks and just be friends    .

Especialy Atmos Audio → crashes !

NOw, yesterday i did a movie with atmos track... = no crashes.. Not only that, the output filesize wos exactly as predicted   

But i think iam on to something regarding those atmos crashes, has something to do with MLP codec / Sync !  That i fortunately can rectify using eac3to...
