#UPSCALE VIDEO FOR MKVTOOLS MOVIE#

Of course you should experiment with different movie to determine what is the best generic bitrate to use. I make the general statement that you should set the bitrate to between 1,400 to 1,600. I've encoded a fair amount of DVD movies to MKV, I won't recommend a target file size since it is dependent on the length of the movie. If you want to upscale to 1080p, use ffdshow to do this at playback time, it will save you a lot of storage space and ffdshow has some very high quality rescalers available. mkv files doesn't work all that well, but perhaps support for this has improved recently it'd be basically the same process, use DGDecode to demux. Also consider re-encoding any TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, at least as a secondary track, since it's not very well supported on PC playback.Īnd DVD is 480p. However I believe eac3to has a one-click method to do this, so you might want to give that a look.

It's been a while since I've done this, but I believe you can use tsMuxer in 'Demux' mode to get the video and audio streams out, then load these into MKVmerge and mux directly to a. You just need to get the streams into a container with better PC support. The formats for video in BluRay and HD-DVD are standard and fairly well supported, with the majority using h.264. If you don't want to re-encode and are okay with the 20-40GB size of a typical BluRay, all you need to do is demultiplex the main video, audio and subtitle streams and then remultiplex them into your container of choice (.mkv).
