Editing Projects growing in file size over the years?

Post by Gene Starwind 21122 » Mon Dec 29, 2014 8:56 pm

So just curious. I remember when using only DVD's that each one was about 8 GBs. Now I rip a Blu-Ray and just for one episode it is close to 200 GBs. 200!!! I mean I know I'm ripping them as a lossless AVI. I never imagine that it would take up that much space.

Is this the way you guys edit with Blu-Rays? Rip them as lossless avi's and then put them through avsPmod and Virtual Dub?

Or is there a better way?

... and the 720p stuff I have on hand in the same format is around 400MB a minute.

I rip BluRays as m2ts passthrough. It is already compressed, it can't get any better from passthrough. Leaving ~50GB per Blu Ray disc.

Afterwards, I grab individual clips as UTVideo. Clips are tagged and stored in a folder with a... complicated... naming scheme that takes advantage of Windows Advanced Query searches. Aka, the little search bar in File Explorer supports boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT, parenthesis, etc. etc.)

I've never worked with Blu-Ray footage since I retired from amvs before HD was starting to be the dominant media for anime.

But holy shit, those file sizes. :shock: :shock:

I have swappable HDDs for storing Project Data. It can get pretty big. But HDDs got so cheap it's really not a problem.
In fact everything is less a Problem than it was a few years ago, like decoding h264 or Ram or lossless storage (UTVideo > Laga or Huffy).

I no longer edit AMV's from DVD nor Blu-Ray.
BUT; when I did, there was a program that I hacked which edited the VOB in-place and let you "section-out" what you wanted.
My Daughter just doesn't grasp saving time and disc space when editing: "Girlz Und Panzer 10.5 v2" AMV that I rebuilt from her scratched/sectioned clips actually wouldn't work in my Editor!
- therefore, what I would advise would be a Blu-Ray Version of the "Direct VOB edit-in-place Editor" available but those who are working on the .mp5 Codec's.
