Encoding HD...Surely its too small?

[wannabedamned]

I had a 2gb MKV, I've just muxed it using GOTsent.

The resulting file is a 500mb MP4. Only thing that got re encoded during the muxing process was the audio, As I had to convert the AC3 to something compatible with the 360. so it was converted to 2 Channel, from 6.1

Could 1.5gb really be accounted for in the 6.1 audio? and removing the subs?

The movie resolution is supposed to be 720p, I find it hard to believe an hour and 20 minutes can be 720p HD and only 500MB in size.

It's pretty unlikely, at least not without dramatically reducing quality... can't you tell whether the video has been re-encoded just by looking at it?

haha, Mystery solved.

The movie is definitely 720p....For the 20 minutes that it works -_-

O.o. You've discovered time compression?!

So... where did the rest of the film disappear to?

Maybe try Handbrake? I find it a really good software to convert MKV files to MP4.

If its for PS3 use (just what I associate GOTsent with) then just use TSMuxer and mux it to .m2TS, or if its a true HD resolution BDMV.

If its not for PS3 then I agree with Orcvader and try out handbrake, or if HDWMV is more your cup of tea then try microsofts expressions encoder.

i would demand a refund if i was you.

Indeed, I may have to get my money back.

As for handbrake I've downloaded it. Giving it a whirl. I was wanting to use something to remux though, rather than re-encode. 10 minutes vs 2 hours. ha.

I used to do it using YAMB, and something else a while back. but i've not done anything like this for a while.
