MKV file sizes
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2010 11:36 pm
Hi,
I just joined and started using MakeMKV. I have several issues/questions:
1, Reading the MakeMKV website, I thought that MakeMKV would reduce Blu-Ray movies to a smaller size. I have used MakeMKV on several movies: Good Luck Chuck, Alvin and the Chipmunks, etc. and found that the .mkv file size was not reduced from the original .m2ts file size. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a setting that I did not set? I have used a trial version of pavTube Blu-Ray Ripper and converter to MKV on these same movies and it reduces the Blu-Ray file to about 30% of the original size. The MKV specs says that file sizes should be reduced to about 40% of the original.
2, I found that playing back MakeMKV files has audio and video dropouts through any player that I used (Windows Media Player, MPlayer, etc.). The files produced by pavTube played smoother but there are still video dropouts. Is there something wrong with my settings?
